the earth dies screaming

Singer:ub40

a warm dry wind is all that breaks the silence

the highways quiet scars across the land. people lie

eyes closed

no longer dreaming

the earth dies screaming. like scattered pebbles

cars lie silent waiting

oilless engines seized by dirt and sand. bodies hanging limp

no longer bleeding

the earth dies screaming. the earth dies screaming

the earth dies screaming

your country needs you

lets strike up the band. the earth dies screaming

the earth dies screaming

despite all odds we must defend our land. half eaten meals lie rotting on the tables

money clutched within a boney hand. shutters down

the banks are not receiving

the earth dies screaming.
