198 - Habitat

Too many cars, Too much plastic

Too many flags being unfurled

Too many tribes, Too much pollution

There’s too many people in the world

We all want money, we all want growth

When will people see the light?

Things like this can’t go on forever

The planet’s resources are only finite

Too many bankers, Too much famine

When is this all going to stop?

Too much tat, Too much crap

But let’s all just shop til we drop

Too many fires, Too high a temperature

Everyone just wants to have a moan

Polar bears are dying, species are extinct

But please let’s argue about my make of phone

I’m not a saint, I’m not the best

I think we can all agree on that

I worry a lot, my hair’s going grey

We’re slowly destroying our habitat
