And I told them not to dig for gold

For if they did, the eagle would die

They didn't listen

To me

And I told 'em if the eagle died

There would be no keeper of the land

They didn't listen

To me

And if there was no keeper of the land

Machine would come and soon destroy the sky

They didn't listen

To me

And I told 'em if they destroyed the land

Man would have to move into the sea

They didn't listen

To me

And I told 'em if they destroy the sea

They didn't listen

They Didn't Listen
