Phil Ryder - Only When the Last Tree (feat. Terry Brown) Lyrics

All of us abuse this earth
We don't seem to know its worth
Rich countries do earth depletion
Which will lead to its destruction

We see it around us everywhere
We're not always even aware
We create so much pollution
Can we find any solution

Only when the last tree has been cut down
Only when the last fish has been caught
Only when the last river's been poisoned
We will know we can't eat cash

There's been such huge change of climate
We pollute the seas with tons of plastic
Species are dying out
And time is running out

Only when the last tree has been cut down
Only when the last fish has been caught
Only when the last river's been poisoned
We will know we can't eat cash

The Cree Indians saw the early settlers
And they knew that they were takers
This was against their philosophy
And they made their prophecy

All of us abuse this earth
We don't seem to know its worth
Rich countries do earth depletion
Which will lead to its destruction

Only when the last tree has been cut down
Only when the last fish has been caught
Only when the last river's been poisoned
We will know we can't eat cash

Only when the last tree has been cut down
Only when the last fish has been caught
Only when the last river's been poisoned
We will know we can't eat cash
