lyrics

Fall of the Wild - by Ed Englerth

The panther walks In the sunshine state
To the vanishing point, The condos won't wait
Black rhinoceros Are killed for their horn
For North Yemen's daggers, They're almost gone
//:It's the fall of the wild://
Between Chinese development And the desire for Giant Panda pelts
There's less than a thousand Of these slow breeders left
//:It's the fall of the wild://
Within 50 years One-quarter of the world's species could be gone
Will we destroy the world? Before we see what's wrong
//:It's the fall of the wild://
When we talk about living sustainably
& how we can take steps of self-management
to be able to live on the income not depleting the capital
that supplies the income. The same lesson applies to earth capital
that supplies all of life on earth
But short-sighted economist would rather kill the goose
that lays the golden egg clamming human ingenuity & technology
will somehow raise the goose back to life.
However human depravity will only strangle it again.
//:It's the fall of the wild://
Soil erosion, deforestation, overgrazing adversely affect productivity
in farming, forestry, livestock sectors.
This slows overall economic growth. These are agriculturally based economies.
And how is it that we fight over oil and yet pay more for water.
There are substitutes for oil. But with water, there are no substitutes.
With ozone-depleting denial, we’ll soon all live
in the ultraviolet zone of reality.
Sunburns, cataracts, skin cancers these are already increasing
in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Argentina, & Chile.
Australian TV broadcast daily UV levels so people will know
the best days to commit slow-motion suicide.
//:It's the fall of the wild://
