The Lyrics

Burn the forest, burn it quickly. Every branch of every tree
Every inch must be left bare, leave no green in front of thee
Scorch the earth like mighty hellfire, give all wood to the pyre
Turn the forest into ash, make the smoke clouds ever higher

Eat the animals, eat them joyfully. Every animal for the roast
From baby rabbits to the foxes. Raise your glasses in a toast
Leave no meat for leftovers, eat every last savory crumb
Make a feast of woodland creatures, bring tears to a green thumb

Build houses, condos, duplexes fill the streams with gray cement
Shining towers of glass all over, making Green Peace's lament
Banks, strip malls, fast food franchises, office buildings to the skies
Automobiles fill the freeways, answering all of industry's cries

Rape the mountains for fossil fuels, raining coal across the land
F**k the trees, the bees, and bears, crush them with oil's hand
PETA, ALF, and Sierra, will go insane from the confusion
Burn it all with drums of napalm, put an end to their delusion

If there were any humor to it, that would be one thing, but as it is this is simply an attempt at an "in your face" slam to folks who value life other than that which is human, and doesn't prove the least bit persuasive as a result. If that's the kind of world you want to live in, I hope you get it -- but not on my planet.
