The Earth Dies Screaming - UB40, Ken Boothe

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
