- -open

And when Man gained dominion

- -open

over land and the oceans

- -open

he began to harm the planet

with his asphalt and his toxins

- -open

and to lay the forest bare

- -open

and to poison even the air

- -open

and he killed every beast

and taught the seas how to bleed

Burned by the fire we make,

what a shame

- -open

Then the winds gave in

- -open

and the rain knew no season

- -open

and the sun came to beat

on a land of sand and diseases

- -open

and when God looked down

- -open

on the earth and saw it was broken

- -open

then the tears of God fell down

through a hole in the ozone

Burned by the fire we make

what a shame

This is the nature of the human race

to kill off anything that gets in our way

poor Mother Earth we disfigured her face

[G/f#]

Man is the maker of his own disgrace

Burned by the fire we make

what a shame

This is the nature of the human race

to kill off anything that gets in our way

poor Mother Earth we disfigured her face

[G/f#]

Man is the maker of his own disgrace

Burned by the fire we make

Burned by the fire we make

Burned by the fire we make

what a shame

To be burned by the fire we make

what a shame
