Death in the wilderness It's a hopeless case I guess Who's looking out for the wilder side It will soon all be gone You can tell it won't be long We'll find the wilderness has died We'll be the lonely one Concrete, plastic human throng Tellin' one another have you heard the news We'll mow it down, we'll rape the ground 'Til there's nothing left to abuse
The rabbit, he'll be gone The bird will sing no song The wolf, the bear, the lion too The insect far and near, creatures like the deer We'll put in cages at the zoo Death in the wilderness It's a hopeless case I guess Who's looking out for the wilder side It will soon all be gone You can tell it won't be long We'll find the wilderness has died
The stream will all dry out The fish, gone no doubt We'll have no animals to fear The tree will be no more We'll use it to build the store Mountain scene will disappear These changes takin' place Will affect the human race We'll all know it when it's gone God save this planet now We've got to help somehow We've left it happen way too long
Death in the wilderness It's a hopeless case I guess Who's looking out for the wilder side It will soon all be gone You can tell it won't be long We'll find the wilderness has died We'll find the wilderness has died
