Eco War

Fifty thousand acres a day
Of rainforest is lost
Forever destroyed
Profit for some but at what cost?

Thirty seven percent to timber harvest
Twenty eight percent agricultural expansion
Twenty one percent to wildfire
Fourteen percent to mineral extraction

As has been said before this is the eco war
This is the eco war, you know what you're fighting
Same as it was before this is the eco war
This is the eco war, you know what you're fighting

Sixty percent of all wild animals
Have disappeared in forty years
And many have gone forever
Surely a fact to fear

Thirteen percent to habitat loss
Thirty one percent habitat degredation
Sixteen percent to climate change
Forty percent to exploitation

As has been said before this is the eco war
This is the eco war, you know what you're fighting
Same as it was before this is the eco war
This is the eco war, you know what you're fighting

Contamination by man made chemicals
Affects every marine organism
The ocean is a dumping ground
For the effluent of consumerism
Rising acidity is killing the coral
Caused by fossil fuel pollution
And the run off from mass farming
While big business tries to shut down the solutions

As has been said before this is the eco war
This is the eco war, you know what you're fighting
Same as it was before this is the eco war
This is the eco war, you know what you're fighting
