I see mushrooms, atomic mushrooms
I see rockets, missiles in the sky
Poor world, poor world
Concrete's rising up
Where yesterday was park
You heard the robin's song
Heavy tractor runs
Where air was clean and cool
Make money burning fuel
Where will this lead to,
What is this good for?
Poor world, poor world
Fishes doomed to die
As people live close by
And oak tree falls with moan
Parking lots will come
Where flowerfields were bright
As junkyard covers sight!
Where will this lead to,
What is this good for?
Poor world is hurting bad
Poor world is doomed to die
We kill the world, kill the world
We surely do, in pieces we do,
We kill the world, kill the world
'Cause we don't know what we are doing
Promenades must go
So cars can drive in row
New factory towers tall
Farmhouse had to fall
No flowers in the air
Pollution everywhere
Where will this lead to,
And what is this good for?
Poor world is hurting bad
Poor world is doomed to die
We kill the world, kill the world
We surely do, in pieces we do,
We kill the world, kill the world
'Cause we don't know what we are doing
We kill the world, kill the world
We surely do, in pieces we do,
We kill the world!
Don't kill the world
Don't let her down
Do not destroy basic ground
Don't kill the world
Our means of life
Lend ear to nature's cry
Don't kill the world
She's all we have
And surely is worth to save
Don't let her die,
Fight for her trees
Pollution robs air to breathe
Don't kill the world
Help her survive
And she'll reward you with life
And don't just talk,
Go on and do
The one who wins is you
Cherish the world
A present from God
On behalf of all creatures
Made by the Lord
Care for the Earth,
Foundation of life
Slow progress down, help her survive
Hmmm... hmmm... hmmmm... hmmm...
Hmmmm... hmmm... hmmm... hmmm...
Don't kill the world
Don't let her down
Do not destroy basic ground
Don't kill the world
Our means of life
Don't kill the world
Our world!
