Adrian Belew - Burned By The Fire We Make lyrics

And when man gained dominion Over land and the oceans He began to harm the planet With his asphalt and his toxins And to lay the forest bare And to poison even the air And he k**ed every beast And taught the seas how to bleed Burned by the fire we make, What a shame Then the winds gave in And the rain knew no season And the sun came to beat On a land of sand and diseases And when god looked down On the earth and saw it was broken Then the tears of god fell down Through a hole in the ozone Burned by the fire we make What a shame This is the nature of the human race To k** off anything that gets in our way Poor mother earth we disfigured her face Man is the maker of his own disgrace Burned by the fire we make What a shame
