Lyrics Chumbawamba – Body
Text:
Fighter breaks the web, lights a fire, quite nature
Hearing laughter, still and silent, AWAKE THE HUNTER…
Man tore the tree of knowledge down
and made it into paper money
thinking he could buy —
himself a better world.
MORE MONEY WON’T BUY A BETTER WORLD
himself a better world.
MORE MONEY WON’T BUY A BETTER WORLD
Man consumes is all consuming
the earth becomes a treeless moorland
more money and more lies —
more power and more waste.
MY BODY WILL BE MY STATEMENT
This destruction of the earth
requires our co-operation
our voices and our bodies —
our money and our work
I say no,
this body is mine, this earth is mine,
I won’t allow — this body,
to play a part in the destruction,
of this earth.
