A Little Help?

Can you name me some songs that deal with the destruction of the environment?

I need a good one for class. I was going to use "Love Destruction" by Warrior Soul, but Kory's lyrics don't focus on anything past a single line.

"When the Music's Over"

" What have you done to the Earth
what have you done to our fair sister
Ravaged and plundered ripped and bit her
Stuck her with Knives in the side of our dawn"


I hope that helps.

Testament - greenhouse effect...maybe?

Ozzy Osbourne-Revelation (Mother Earth) from Blizzard of Oz

Two came immediately to mind for me:

"Critical Mass" by Nuclear Assault
"Another oil spill! Atomic waste displaced! Another forest diiiiiieeeees!"

"Silent Spring" by Probot (sung by Kurt Brecht of D.R.I.)
"They ravaged the land and polluted the seas,
burned all the forests and cut down the trees
They dammed up the rivers and paved all the shores
Built parking lots and discount stores
Then they started to die but not fast enough
So they shot at each other with bullets and stuff"

Iggy Pop-Instinct

" I have seen the sludgy Beach
and the poisoned river
I have met the lordly rich
They're just getting stiffer
This whole place is like a maze or like some Medusa
Let me out I can't accept
A certain read life story"

Iggy Pop and The Doors song only mention the enivorment in one singel line.

Now that I think about it, "Stonewall" by Annihilator also deals with the destruction of the environment. Hell, I think just about every thrash band did a song about it, haha. It was one of the most used "go-to" topics for thrash lyrics back then (along with "The government is bad," "Child molestors are bad," "Nuclear war is bad," etc.)

Blackened by Metallica

Set the World on Fire by Megadeth

8. Dawn Patrol

Thermal count is rising
In perpetual writhing
The primordial ooze
And the sanity they lose

Awakened in the morning
To more air pollution warnings
Still we sleepwalk off to work
While our nervous systems jerk

Pretending not to notice
How history had forebode us
With the green house in effect
Our environment was wrecked

Now I can only laugh
As I read our epitaph
We end our lives as moles
In the dark of dawn patrol

Captian Crude/ Galactic Cowboys

Rex stole my idea

Kreator - When The Sun Burns Red

Anything by Midnight Oil or Rage Against the Machine

Believer
Nonpoint

Toxic waste corrupts the air
Adulteration of man's breath
The sky pours forth rains of acid
Waters of life now bring death

Clear cuts espose the land
Forest ravaged by greed
Corporate lies being bought
Destruction for profit their creed

Surrounded by nonpoint filth
Pollution's silent killer
Ignoring our earth's decline
Out of sight, out of mind

Established upon the deep
Founded upon the seas
The earth became infected
From the fall came it's disease

Pollution corrupts your soul
Wake up from your careless sleep
Open your eyes to see
What you sow you'll surely reap

Rush - The Trees

Sacrifice


As The World Burns

Extermination of our planet's fertility
The world in danger, no one will realize
We go forward to termination, endless compromise
Pyromania
With no concern
The sun destroys
As the world burns
Disintegration of the ozon layer,
Worldly cremation, lethal burning rays
Pyromania
With no concern
The sun destroys
As the world burns
All wars will be forgotten
When the sun will scorch the earth
The effects on humanity will not allow rebirth
Skin cancer lake a plague
Too late to turn back
The green world once ours
Has now turned black
All wars will be forgotten
With global warming trends
The flooding of the coasts
Bring us close to an end
The earth becoming deserts
No second chance
We will become exposed
And watch the world turn to black

George Carlin's version of America The Beautiful...

Oh Beautiful, for smoggy skies
Insecticided grain
For strip-mined mountains majesty
above the asphalt plain

America, America man shades his waste on me
and hides the pines with billboard signs
from sea to oily sea...
