I went to the country to escape the noise and lights I laid there in the pine cones all night I woke in the morning and all the trees were gone I got this sinking feeling everything felt wrong There were strip malls and dollar stores and diesel in the air So I slept in a row boat and I anchored far from shore Now I don't hear them chainsaws no more I woke in the morning when someone pulled the plug I was stranded in the lake bottom sludge With all the tires, paint cans and things Well, Every little critter with feather, fur & fin cried to Mother Nature to come back for them for every piece of litter for every little sin She cried for all of them feather, fur & fin She cried for all of them feather, fur & fin So I went to an island down the Caribbean way And I laid there in the sand all day I turned on a radio and I heard the DJ say: Well, batten down the hatches down Santa Elena way I swam the ocean reef, with coral all was gray Every little critter with feather, fur & fin cried to Mother Nature to come back for them for every piece of litter for every little sin She cried for all of them feather, fur & fin She cried for all of them feather, fur & fin She saw the eagle's eye weeping in the willow She prayed to the mantis and she cried into her pillow for the salmon in the Fraser and the salamander's kin She cried for all of them feather, fur & fin She cried for all of them feather, fur & fin Well, I went to the city when all the trees were gone and I laid there on a asphalt lawn And she cried out a thousand days of hurricanes and floods Her face ran with tears and the streets ran with blood Fur coats and sushi boats and diesel in the air Every little critter with feather, fur & fin cried to Mother Nature to come back for them for every piece of litter for every little sin She cried for all of them feather, fur & fin She cried for all of them feather, fur & fin Feather, fur & fin she cried for all of them for feather, fur & fin, she cried for every fin |
