Save the planet for another day Attention shoppers, buy with a conscience and save Save the planet for another day Save Alaska! Let the caribou stay Don't care what the governments say They're all bought and paid for anyway Save the planet for another day Hey Big Oil, what do you say? We were runnin' through the night Never knowin' if we would see the light Paranoid schizophrenic visions Livin' in fear of the wrong decisions We got to wake up We got to keep goin' If they follow us There's no way of knowin' We got a job to do We got to Save Mother Earth Be the ocean when it meets the sky You can make a difference, if you really try Be the magic in the northern lights Six days....six nights Be the river as it rolls along It has three eyed fish and it's smellin' strong Be the rain you remember fallin' Be the rain, be the rain Yeah rain was fallin' and we're soakin' wet Hail is beatin' down on our heads The wind is blowin' through our hair Faces frozen in the frigid air We got to get there Alaska We got to be there Before the big machines We got a job to do We got to Save Mother Earth Dream the hunter on the western plain The birds are all gone, where did they go? dream the fisherman in his boat He's comin' home empty, he's barely afloat dream the logger in the great northwest They're runnin' out of trees, they got to give it a rest (there's no other way to cut it) dream the farmer in the old heartland Corporate greed and chemicals are killin' the land Next mornin' Sun was up at dawn She looked around and Earth was gone Dark visions he had last night He needed peace, he needed light He heard the rumble and He saw the big machines The green army rose It was a bad dream He had a job to do He had to Save Mother Earth Be the ocean when it meets the sky Greek freighters are dumping crap somewhere right now Be the magic in the northern lights The ice is melting! Be the river as it rolls along Toxic waste dumpin' from corporate farms Be the rain you remember fallin' Be the rain, be the rain Save the planet for another day Be the rain, be the rain Be the river as it rolls along Be the rain, be the rain
