Lyrics
Mother Nature words and music by Jane Held
Once again we're fightin' over
Mother Nature
That's right I heard it on the news
I heard about men fightin' over
Mother Nature
We ought to know we're gonna lose
We oughtn't take for granted dear old
Mother Nature
She got her ways of seein' through
She got ways to shake ya, she got
Ways to keep ya cool
She got ways of tellin' ya to STOP!
Breakin' all the rules (ha ha)
Once again we're fightin' over
Mother countries
Who's got the highest price of oil?
Who believes a dollar buys up
Mother Nature
She put ya right back in the soil
She got the POWER over all of
Human Nature
She got the power over all
She got ways to make us over
Make us understand
We can't take for nothing, no we can't
Take away the land
(instrumental)
She got ways to shake ya, she got
Ways to keep ya cool
She got ways of telling ya to STOP!
1979 Jane Held
