to
I'm a hungry planet
I had a youthful face
They were in a hurry
to
To go to outer space
They needed bombs and tungsten
to
Ore and iron too
So they climbed and they dug and they blew
to
Divided me right in two
to
I'm a hungry planet
Orbiting in the sky
The things they did to hurt me
to
Pass on by and by
Now here I am all alone
to
They never ever learn
Well I had to shake and quake
to
And make their houses burn
to
I'm a hungry planet
I had the bluest seas
Oh the people kept choppin' down
to
All my finest trees
Poisonin' my oxygen
to
Diggin' into my skin
Takin' more out of my good earth
to
Than they'll ever put back in
I'm a hungry planet.....
