People treat the EARTH
with little respect
global warming comes to us
live and direct
the EARTH is becoming
a burnt out wreck.

is in EFFECT.
Burning Tropical rain forest
producing carbon dioxide
increasing global warming
sea levels start to rise
weather patterns are changing
there’s a lesson to be learnt
the GREENHOUSE EFFECT is in EFFECT
we could all get burnt.
Greedy developers destroy land
to build new factories
killing the indigenous population
with their economic policies
animals and plant life become extinct
along with cures for many diseases
the chance of breathing fresh clean air
for ever decreases.
The GREE…

Humans treating the EARTH with little respect.
The GREE…
The GREE…

The EARTH is becoming a nervous wreck.
Trees get axed
to feed the consumer
atmospheric gases clash
which equates to danger
and life on EARTH gets
stranger
and now man has his regrets.
Because
The GREENHOUSE
The GREENHOUSE
The GREENHOUSE EFFECT is in EFFECT
