Who Put a Price Tag on Earth?

Who Put a Price Tag on Earth?

A Poem by SimonitroX

And it is now sold
Borrowed
Underneath the hands
A relished possession
In the pockets for the greed

Auditioning the green
While laughing at feeble ones
Everything here is made for profit
Whenever the darkness does hit
No care to this planet at all
Selling the shoot star's fall

From the breath
To the fire
Drink of water
And the turf to bury the dead
Everything goes green from the red

From the trees come the notes
To buy the beauty of lands
No more fighting
Just up-for-grabs

(Bridge)

Going once - What am I to you again?
Going twice - How are you going to reign?
And gone - Taken by the man with the cigar

(Chorus)

Everything must go
Liquidate this Earth
Paying the ultimate due
To our really final hour of death
Life and death are not for sale
Discounted down to our souls

For pleasure comes the pain
When the dollar signs blinding this world
Becoming enslaved to the symbol
The symbol of death
In which wars have been fought
The heights of the egos
Killing the eagles in the skies
Many shall fall as they die

The rain of the notes
Collected by evil hands
Just to destroy with
When did this land
A God-given land
Became a profit to the greed
We must take heed

There seems to be no hope in sight
What else are you looking for?
Humans becoming their own enemy
When the rich becoming the poor in the mind
In their own abyss, they become so blind
As they fall forever in their own holes

“Did you hear that?
Eden has been discounted
ON ALL PRODUCTS!!”

The riches of the Earth
Which used to be
Now, it is all become for greed
Since the new babe’s birth

(Bridge)

Going once - What am I to you again?
Going twice - How are you going to reign?
And gone - Taken by the man with the cigar

(Chorus)

Everything must go
Liquidate this Earth
Paying the ultimate due
To our really final hour of death
Life and death are not for sale
Discounted down to our souls

(Guitar Solo 1)

Cut the trees
Pollute the seas
All in the name of cash
Oil the skies
Smoke do rise
All in the name of cash

Paint with green
All in between
All in the name of cash
Extinct the wild
Trash the tides
All in the name of cash

Marketing overflowing
Burn the forest for your paper money
Which flies in the wind
To the east, west to send
Who care about the atmosphere
When the dollars are so clear
To the Scrooges devouring our world
Our would shall be stabbed
BY THE GOLDEN SWORD

(Guitar Solo 2)

Earthy-earthy-earthy
Mine! Mine! Mine!
Earthy-earthy-earthy
Money! Money! Money!

Just the symbols of death
Roaming around the globe
With numbers and figures
And you… devoured by the glutton ones

No genuinity
No morality
When the flesh is been bought
From the animals to the human kind
“We want the coins for the daughters”
Children are sold
From hand to hand
Nothing is safe from the greed
Give me more
Give me more
AND KILL ME AGAIN

SO…
Sing with me

Earthy-earthy-earthy
Ours! Ours! Ours!
Earthy-earthy-earthy
Money! Money! Money!

MONEY TALKS LOUD!!!

(Guitar Solo 3)

Swines of this Earth
Will sing their victory songs
Over the blood
And broken bones
Of the ones trying to survive

Asking the questions:
“Is my land for sale?”
“Is my soul for rent?
“How can I survive?
“Is what life is about?”

To pay money, money, money
To a world that is never enough
TO BE FED
WE ALL SHALL END UP DEAD

Without the phony riches
OF THIS EARTH

HEY MOTHER!!!
As we ask
WHY
ARE
YOU
SO
EXPENSIVE
TO LIVE
TO LIVE
TO LIVE

I… WANT… TO… LIVE

Death is cheap?

How are we going to break the silence
When louder comes the cash flow
In which direction will this wind blow
Humankind shall resort to violence
After they reach for their pockets
With emptiness inside
As you are being going up to Heaven
Ha! Ha! Ha! No!
Are you kidding?

YOU ARE GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL!!!!
TO HELL!!!
HELL!!!!
WITH NOTHING TO GAIN

HA! HA! HA!

As we ask those questions
ONCE AGAIN

(Bridge)

Going once - What am I to you again?
Going twice - How are you going to reign?
And gone - Taken by the man with the cigar

(Chorus)

Everything must go
Liquidate this Earth
Paying the ultimate due
To our really final hour of death
Life and death are not for sale
Discounted down to our souls

Welcome to planet Earth, human!
HA! HA! HA! HA!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
