Poison
in the air as the sun burns red / Global warning kills another species
dead / Apathy is our worst enemy / Could this really be the end of you
and me / We are standing on the threshold of hell / No compromise in defence
of our earth
Chorus - Your world, my world going to hell / Their world, our world going to
hell
Slash
and burn the rainforests of Brazil / I don't care United won four nil /
Lost greenbelt land to another bypass / Do you care? will you get off of
your arse? / We are standing on the threshold of hell / No compromise in
defence of our earth
The tide
is rising but can you swim? / Going over the edge, over the rim / Are you
gonna sit back in your chair? / 'Cos I ain't ready to abandon ship / We
are standing on the threshold of hell / No compromise in defence of our
earth
We're
heading for a new Ice age? / Tidal wave? bird flu plague? / What are you
gonna do? / Yes I mean you / Don't fool yourself, this concerns you too
/ This is more than an inconvenient truth / Mother nature's pissed at me
and you!
Paul's
Note: This is a new version,
and very different musically to the one that appeared on the Destruction
Day CD Single and The Harder The Better
compilation.
The lyrics are the same except the new version has the extra verse at
the
end.
Obviously
this song is about using Direct Action to save the planet from ecological
devastation. As long as the power mongers of this planet are making money
from it's natural resources, for all their grandstanding, they're never
going to make a serious attempt to prevent it.
This
song is regularly dedicated to the Sea Shepherd Organisation.
