George Harrison - Save The World lyrics

We've got to save the world Someone else may want to use it So far we've seen This planet's rape, how we've abused it We've got to save the world The russians have the biggest share With their long fingers everywhere And now they've bombs in outer space With laser beams and atomic waste Rain forest chopped for paper towels One acre gone in every hour* Our birds and wildlife all destroyed To keep some millionaires employed We've got to save the whale Greenpeace they've tried to diffuse it But dog food salesmen Persist on kindly to harpoon it We've got to save the world The armament consortium They're selling us plutonium Now you can make your own h-bomb Right in the kitchen with your mom The nuclear power that costs you more Than anything you've known before The half-wit's answer to a need For cancer, d**h, destruction, greed We've got to save the world Someone's children they may need it So far we've seen The big business of extinction bleed it We've got to save the world We're at the mercy of so few With evil hearts determined to Reduce this planet into hell Then find a buyer and make quick sale To end upon a happy note Like trying to make concrete float Is very simple knowing that God in your heart lives We've got to save the world Someone else may want to use it It's time you knew How close we've come We're gonna lose it - we gotta save, we gotta save We gotta save the world
