A message to all of you short-sighted killers What kind of world will you leave behind for your children When youve squeezed every last drop of life from the land With your greed and your murder youve wrought with your plans Id like to remind you your money means nothing When the waters been blackened and the creatures are starving You toy with a force you do not understand Your chemicals wont wash all that blood off your hands First Nations fight cancer up in Athabasca Your oil trains are time bombs impending disaster Your pipelines will leak and your cesspools will sprawl And your babies are left with the brunt of it all What of the animals caught in the tar? What of the forests left clear cut and scarred? What of those atrocities I didnt witness? Like Serafino in Columbia sending assassins To murder union organizers who stood up and spoke out In the back of my mind I can still hear them shout I am made of this land you are made of the same The planet is dying and you are to blame Are you proud of yourselves? Look at what youve become Heartless machines, so frigid and numb So reluctant to think that you may just be wrong That you hear the dissent and you send in the guns.
