When you fought for your country, what did you fight for?
When they told you "kill the enemy" what were you thinking of?
No Hitler, no Mussolini ever brought us to our knees
Forty years on what has gone wrong?
Save the planet, please
Save the planet, please
Save the planet, please
When you cried for dead family, what did you cry for?
When they talked about responsibility, what were you thinking of?
Joe Stalin's infiltrations never brought us down
Forty years on looks like a big one
Save the planet, please
Save the planet, please
Save the planet, please
When you vote for more of the same, what do you vote for?
The sweet smell of decay and corruption from a grocery store
When our children turn and ask us why we never changed
Forty years on, what has gone wrong?
Save the planet, please
Save the planet, please
Save the planet, please
Save the planet, please
Save the planet, please
Save the planet, please
Save the planet, please
Save the planet, please
Save the planet, please (please get up and say)
Save the planet, please (please don't throw it away)
Save the planet, please (please get up and say)
Save the planet, please (please don't throw it away)
Save the planet, please (please get up and say)
Save the planet, please (please don't throw it away)
Save the planet, please
