Virus( Band-Version)

by Corny Held
The earth has a fever,
it's rising steadily.
it's caused by a virus
called humanity
The fever increases,
but that virus resists,
it's ramping and raging,
it scars her, she's sick.
The virus is spreading,
wrecks life and alerts,
affects beauty and organs,
and skin, and it hurts.
Stop and don't favour having so many children,
Stop pollution and always flying somewhere,
Don't consume more than you need, stop throwing things away,
Or in only a few years you might no longer be there.
Stop always buying something, start acting, stop talking,
Stop driving around, better start walking,
Save the animals and trees and appreciate wildlife -
Or you'll soon become extinct and vanish with your vice.
The earth has got the time,
She will overcome.
but not human kind,
Some day soon it is gone.
The earth got the power
to defeat peril about,
She's had millions of years
to improve and weed out.
For other new lives
Will there be a scope.
Sure, no longer yours,
but with understanding and hope.
With your too many children you will shatter their future,
with your too many flights, cars, cows, and cruisers.
You can live and let live if you now stop surfeit.
Don't exploit the hand that feeds you, don't consume what you don't need.
The junk you buy today will end up as tomorrow's waste,
polluting soil and oceans, killing creatures, trees, or fates.
Start to think it over, start to change your ways;
Or your species is endangered, and numbered are your days
The earth is quite small,
There are limits to growth.
So many people, so much greed
More won't fit in, you know
Consumerism's an addiction,
destroying all things and kinds
and faith in money is no religion,
and that you own things is a lie
Droughts, and floods, storms, and fires,
These warnings remind:
You need the world,
but the world needs no mankind.
In 30 years, the world population is expected to have grown to 10 billion people.
In 30 years, the CO2 - emissions are forecast to increase to 43 billion tons.
25 million acres of forest are devastated each year, and every day 150 species just die out!
Stop and don't favour having so many children,
Stop pollution and always flying somewhere,
Don't consume more than you need, stop throwing things away,
Or in only a few years you might no longer be there.
Stop always buying something, start acting, stop talking,
Stop driving around, better start walking,
Save the animals and trees and appreciate wildlife,
Or you'll soon become extinct and vanish with your vice.
