Mama Nature Said - Thin Lizzy

A major proliferation of environmental songs began in the eighties

And nineties by bands such as R.E.M.

and the like.

Thin Lizzy

Did this same thing almost twenty years earlier!

Mama Nature said

«It's murder what you’ve done»

I sent you forth my brightest world

Now it’s nearly gone

Birds and bees

Been telling me You can’t see

The forest for the trees

You cover up your lies

With sympathies

And I got no solutions

To your persecution

Mama Nature said

«I can’t believe it’s true»

I gave you life and food for thought

Look what did you do You’re killing my rivers

Drowning my baby streams

Day by day by day by day

I hear them scream

I’m so disillusioned

I’m so disillusioned

Mama Nature said

«You're guilty of this crime»

Now it’s not just a matter of fact

But just a matter of time

Cruel will be the vengeance

So savage is the deed that’s done

And I’ve got no solutions

To your own pollutions
