Our love affair with cattle with beef products today
Destruction of wide areas forests torn away
The very lungs the planet needs to continue all its done
Improving the air, that we breathe which it has cleally done.
Paraguay Bolivia even the Argentine the Chaco
all that precious land a wondrous land of green
Its heart ripped out by bulldozers,rogue dinosaurs who tear
The living soil to ribbons thats the forest we all share
Rip out the trees crush everything that moves
create a place
Where bankster gangsters ranchers can move in and can chase
The great indigenous nations, can slaughter them at will
Those guardians of our forest if necessary kill.
A people of such history whose care for forest climes
Is written in the heavens in the holiest of rhymes
Sacred land is ripped to shreds its where fulfillments lost
the animals, birds the eco system burnt back at what cost
There appears no true reflection of the sacrifice they made
Their destruction seen as worthwhile for their memory will fade
These Amazonian people who share such wisdom they
The heritage providers are now just blown away
Such hope for their tenacity their purity their light
Is being crushed and damaged by corruption and in spite
Of the message which is sanity, madness does prevail
Their cashing in on destruction which of course in time will fail
The love affair with cattle the ranchers make the rules
Destruction of environments is the work of many fools
Profit, sees the prophets vanquished in a storm
Of cataclysmic evil this happening as the norm
The indigenous are a people who offer us true hope
They managed the land for centuries
they proved that they could cope
Our world is dissapearing Gangster Bankster Rules
and our children will look back and see their parents were such fools.

(We must protect the AYOREO-TOTOBIEGOSODE PEOPLE they are the future,what we do will decide where we are in 100 years time
Lets be brave Lets be seen as protectors
of the forests and the people who live there)
