“GREEN BELIEF”

We don’t own this land this land owns us

Together we stand in the dollar bill we trust

Toxic guns formed from oil but no money to pay for gas

Our planet been hijacked and global warming is our crash

Really how long can this dictatorship last

Taking fresh water from country’s whose children are left to dry and pass

Mother nature having to worry about a nuclear bomb blast

Another question leading us to wonder how long this world will last

Going from fresh tree’s to building polluted factories

Pushing out Native’s into reservations the earth knows hell is waiting

Just think back to the land on were we live and shop

It once was surrounded by beautiful woods, which we chopped

Continue to chop not enough parking lots

More cars surrounded by dirty air what a thought

To say for the people by the people

Got me like the sun on the earth

Kind of hot like I’m living in a volcano spot

Lead by just another businessman on a plot

Tell me when will we be taught the three R’s of life

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle and keep it precise?
