Bye Bye Blackbird - 21st Century version
(recorded by Brother Bastion for Bastion Music, currently awaiting conformation that the song is out of copyright before release on his next album.)
Plants genetically modified,
pesticide, herbicide,
Bye Bye Blackbird
No place for the honey bee
Neonicotin killed the colony
Bye Bye Blackbird
Why can we not put our trust in nature
Was evolution not our finest teacher?
Kill the trees and turn the fields to sand
And we'll live in a barren land
Blackbird Bye Bye
Starlings flying at twilight
Wind turbine decimates their flight
Bye Bye blackbird
What happened to the butterly
Cooked by signals from Wi Fi
Bye Bye Blackbird
What damage are we doing to our planet
There's another creature dying every minute
Sacrificing future viability
For corporate profitability
Blackbird Bye Bye
From summer skies the cold rain teems
HAARP technology messed up the jetstreams
Bye bye Blackbird
On a cloudless day the sunshine pales
Suns rays blocked out by chem - trails*
Bye Bye Blackbird
It's progress but the environment can't stand it
The world works fine the way that nature planned it.
We make the bed in which we lie,
Let's reject this control freakery
Blackbird Bye Bye
*The allegation that chemicals added to aircraft fuel and emmitted into the atmosphere in chem - trails to reflect sunlight back into space and cool the atmosphere is very much at the conspiracy theory edge of environmentalist thinking. but I though I'd throw it into the mix to stir things up a bit.
