Do for You

Today I watched them cut down an old oak tree

Son of the Charter Oak and part of our history

Last year a bird made a home there for her family

I wonder when she comes back this year what she'll think

Oh mother, oh nature

I bet you can't wait for us to leave

Plastic in your blood

Dust in your lungs

Glaciers cry your tears

Oh mother, oh nature

We'll use you 'til you're black and blue

Oh mother, oh nature

What did we ever do for you

Oh nature do you miss your winters

I know I like a cool cool breeze

And are you so sad to see us pushing buttons doing nothing

Farming your goods on our screens

Oh mother, oh nature

I bet you can't wait for us to leave

Plastic in your blood

Dust in your lungs

Glaciers cry your tears

Oh mother, oh nature

We'll use you 'til you're black and blue

Oh mother, oh nature

What did we ever do for you

The dams all broke

The seas all rose

It was time to make our peace but the

Olive branches didn't grow

When the last big man

Has no more steps to roam

Only took two hundred years to

Burn down our only home and

Maybe we were distracted by

Modern advances we

Ignored the warning signs and

Missed all our chances

Oh mother, oh nature

I bet you can't wait for us to leave

Plastic in your blood

Dust in your lungs

Glaciers cry your tears

Oh mother, oh nature

We'll use you 'til you're black and blue

Oh mother, oh nature

What did we ever do for you
