How much more damage do we have to cause before this is realized?

When will they learn that we can’t eat money?
Maybe when there’s no more trees worth cutting
Or when the fish all float up and turn
Or the pollution causes the earth to erupt and burn
When the great land I call home is no more
When the forest has fallen to the dried-up floor
Pipelines transporting “liquid money” for miles,
Bursting and killing everything worthwhile
Because the big man in charge doesn’t care for the land
Where we see nature, he sees another hundred grand
Because the money-making corporations don’t agree with green living
They take and take and remain unforgiving
Now...
What’s in store for the human race?
Maybe when all that’s left on earth is money,
They’ll finally realize,
It has an awful taste
