For the good of Mankind

Were destroying the world.
lets make it better.

Lets cut down more trees,
Breathe in the bricks and mortar.
Widen the motorways,
There's not enough traffic.
Those lush green fields,
what a great spot for an airport.

Corrupt the oceans,
bleed them dry.
Find the biggest fish to fry.
Watch the bird so gracefully fly,
Shoot it down, out the sky.

Time waits for no man,
so lets speed things along.
Set a path for generations to come.

Because we can,
we have the power.
