Wild Side

Living on the wild side

Of man-made legislature

With a will of rhino hide

Defending laws of nature

From invasive species gaining

On a three-ring circus stage

In an age of lion-taming

Makes us monkeys in a cage

As we're sinking to extinction levels

Captives in a profit zoo

When grizzly bear essentials

Could replant the trees where once they grew

When green was life, and not its price

And Earth it had no cost

Her beauty would alone suffice

For all resources lost

Before we ravaged her chaste skies

And bled her dry of virgin lands

By forcing her to synthesize

Our selfish energy demands

Vicious avaricious rats

A mass consumption plague

Of king cobra bureaucrats

No drop of oil shame

Rising seas to meet their marks

Bottom-fed on dying reefs

Cold and lifeless, great white sharks

Their souls of coal lie deep beneath

Pearly, sparkling teeth of preachers

Sheep until their time is done

Show these puny, insect creatures

Powers of your chosen sun
