THE BLISSETTS LYRICS

DESTRUCTION DAY v2.0

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.
