In Defence Of Our Earth

Safety rules - corners cut 
Just to keep the profits up 
Money saved - profits rise 
But consequence is someone dies 


Victim of a chemical spillage 


Safety regulations breached 
Critical concentrations reached 
Money is saved but a live is lost 
Loved ones left to count the cost 


Tanker crashin the village 
Death could from the spillage 
No escape from the fumes 
Peoples' homes become their tombs 


In the face of corporate greed 
Ecodefence is what we need 
Read and act upon this text 
Or you become the next victim 
Of a chemical spillage 


Never forget that one thing 
That motivates big business is profit. 
As far as the multinationals are concerned
There is nothing that they will not destroy 
In their insane drive for increased takings: 
Forests, meadows, rivers, the sea 
Even their own employees 
Are all seen as expedable. 
This kind of omnicidal madness 
Is killing our Earth and can only be stopped 
By mass direct action. 
Anyone who advocates this of course 
Is branded as an extremist  
Yet what could be more extreme 
Than the mass poisoning and polluting of our planet
The destruction of huge areas 
Of rainforest and the wholesale slaughter 
To extinction of vast numbers 
Of species of animals? 
It's time to stand up and be counted 
If you're not part of the solution. 
You're part of problem. 
No compromise on defence of our Earth
