Boney M. - We Kill the World lyrics

I see mushrooms, atomic mushrooms
I see rockets, missiles in the sky
Day by day, more and more
Where will this lead to
And what is this good for?
Poor world, poor world

Concrete's rising up
Where yearerday was park
You heard the robin's song
Heavy tractor runs
Where air was clean and cool
Make money, bringing fuel

Where will this lead to
And what is this good for?
A poor world, poor world

Fishes doomed to die as people live close by
And oaktree falls with moon
Parking lots will come
With flowerfields were bright
As junkyard covers sight!

Where will this lead to
And what is this good for?
Poor world, is hurting bad
Poor world, is doomed to die

We kill the world kill the world
We surely do in peace we do!
We kill the world kill the world
'cause we don't know what we are doing!

We kill it one by one don't realize!

And nuclear piles stand like monuments
Of destruction throughout over the country

Promenades must go so cars can drive in row
New fact'ry towers tall
Farmhouse had to fall no flowers in the air
Pollution everywhere

Where will this lead to
And what is this good for?
A poor world, poor world

Oceans in despair there's rubbish everywhere
The seaweed chokes in mud
Nature's had her lot
With nuclear waste and rot
And mushrooms bloom as clouds

Where will this lead to
And what is this good for?
Poor world, is hurting bad
Poor world, is doomed to die

We kill the world

Don't kill the world don't let her down
Do not destroy basic ground
Don't kill the world our means of life
Lend ear to nature's cry

Don't kill the world she's all we have
And surely is worth to save
Don't let her die fight for her trees
Pollution robs air to breathe

Don't kill the world help her survive
And she'll reward you with life
And don't just talk
Go on and do the one, who wins is you

Cherish the world a present from god
On behalf of all creatures made by the lord
Care for the earth foundation of life
Slow progress down help her survive

Hmmm hmmm hmmmm hmmm hmmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm

Don't kill the world don't let her down
Do not destroy basic ground
Don't kill the world our means of life
Don't kill the world our world!
