LYRICS
Pull down the forests we need more wood
Extend the grazing we need more food
Burning our bridges before the flood

Out on the oceans where it's relatively safe
It's not so easy being big as a whale
We're all in a race on a bigger scale

Homosapien, I've had enough
Homosapien, I'm giving up
At best your wisdom's a shot in the dark

So make yourself pretty, make yourself rich
Leopardskin, sealskin, money and sex
Apartheid, genocide, thalidomide, life
It's your choice
