Who's Minding the Garden - Glen Campbell

There’s a bay up in Alaska oh so cold and clear

A home for creatures great and small

Till the pipeline appeared

That bring us fuel to heat our homes

And gas for us to drive

Now the sea is black with oil

And all the fish have died

So who`s to tell us why

There’s a forest in Brazil sheltered by the rain

Where the tall trees make the air we breathe

Till the cattle barons came

They cleared the land for grazin'

Fifty thousand trees a day now the Amazon’s on fire

And that’s progress they say

But what a price to pay

Who’s minding the garden?

Who’s holding the seed?

Are they planning for tomorrow

Or just harvesting their dreams?

There’s a line in the Bible

Says we’ll reap what we sow

And who’ll mind the garden

When the garden won’t grow?

Who’s minding the garden?

Who’s minding, who’s minding?

There’s children in the city

No one cares how they feel

Their playground was the city park

Till the drug lords made their deals

Now cars drive by night and day

And sometimes shots ring out

But no one hears their cryin'

And no one hears their shouts

Is this what life’s about?

Who’s minding the garden?

Who’s holding the seed?

Are they planning for tomorrow

Or just harvesting their dreams?

There’s a line in the Bible

Says we’ll reap what we sow

And who’ll mind the garden

When the garden won’t grow?

There’s a line in the Bible

Says we’ll reap what we sow

And who’ll mind the garden

When the garden won’t grow?

Who’s minding the garden

Who’s minding

When the garden won’t grow?

Who’s minding, who’s minding?

Who’s minding the garden?

Who’s minding, who’s minding?

Who’s minding the garden?
