Run run run run my gorgeous cousins to a beautiful place where the helis don’t fly Out of the reach of man and industry away from this scourge, the destroyer of all This doesn’t come from logic or ignorance you’ve been set up and sentenced to die You’ve been blamed but you won’t be tried just poisoned or shot for someone else’s crimes
Don’t blame the wolf, don’t blame the seal if it will help you can blame me Blame the tar sands and the fishing fleets, or forestry, blame industry
200,000 cattle trample the land, roads end wilderness for everything it has The tailing ponds kill the river that runs through and wolves get the blame for missing Caribou Giant drag nets scrape the ocean dead and somehow seals are the new threat Double the humans in less than 50 years and it’s someone else’s fault when the herds disappear
Don’t blame the wolf, don’t blame the seal, if it will help you can blame me, Blame the tar sands and the fishing fleets, or forestry blame industry Don’t blame the wolf, don’t blame the seal, if it will help you can blame me, How about the growing cities and the sprawling streets, blame agriculture, blame industry Blame me Blame me
Every witch hunt the same purpose, be it women, wolves, snakes or albatross How long will these games go on they do nothing to help and only deepen the loss
Blame the war on nature, blame the fear of green, blame the lazy cowards in huge machines, Blame us all together as we poison the sea, blame the way we consume and breed and breed or pesticides and the GMO wheat, the water you waste for the taste of meat Blame acid rain, yes it’s still a thing, clear-cuts you can see from space reactor leaks, open pits, massive dams and their floods of death Blame our anthropocentric mind disease, science dragged out back and forced to its knees Blame your own inaction while the world bleeds, blame that on the distractions of your silly scene I know you need a sacrifice to your god of greed if it will help you can take me blame me blame me blame me
