Mother Earth Lyrics

Extra extra, the world is going insane
Floods, tsunamis, earthquakes
Mother nature is totally out of balance

Do you know tom jobim?
The great composer from brazil?
The guy who wrote the girl from ipanema
He had a beautiful house up in the mountains
And over there he wrote many beautiful standards
Including waters of march


What he could not imagine is that the waters of january
Would cause his home to vanish
Destroying a village
And taking the lives of over eight hundred people

Mother earth
Mother earth

She gave you home (mother earth)
She gave you life (mother earth)
She gave you food (mother earth)
And water to survive (mother earth)

Where, where, where we are going (I don't know)
How much can she take it (we should know)
You just take, take (don't give back)
We just take, take (don't give back)

Mother nature is gonna slap you on your face
Mother nature is gonna slap you on your face
Mother nature is gonna slap you on your face
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

Where, where, where we are going (I don't know)
How much can she take it (we should know)
You just take, take (don't give back)
We just take, take (don't give back)

Mother nature is gonna slap you on your face
Mother nature is gonna slap you on your face
Mother nature is gonna slap you on your face
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

Where is the paradise I've made for you
For you

Mother nature is gonna slap you on your face
Mother nature is gonna slap you on your face
Mother nature is gonna slap you on your face
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah

Mother nature is gonna slap you on your face
