Ethiopia

Hot winds and hunger cries--Ethiopia Flies in your babies' eyes--Ethiopia Walking sticks on burning plains Betrayed by politics Abandoned by the rains On and on, the human need On and on, the human greed profanes Ethiopia, Ethiopia, Ethiopia Your top soil flies away--Ethiopia We pump ours full of poison spray--Ethiopia Between the brown skies and sprinkling lawns I hear the whine of chain saws Hacking rain forests down On and on, insanities On and on, short sighted greed abounds Ethiopia, Ethiopia, Ethiopia Little garden planet-oasis in space Some hearts hurt, they can hardly stand it Famine phantoms at the garden gates Ethiopia, Ethiopia, Ethiopia Every Sunday on T.V. Ethiopia You suffer with such dignity Ethiopia A T.V. star with a P.R. smile Calls your baby "it" while strolling Through your tragic trials On and on, stupidity On and on, the basic needs are defiled Good air, good water, good earth Ethiopia, Ethiopia, Ethiopia Little garden planet, oasis in space Some hearts hurt, they can hardly stand the waste Ethiopia, Ethiopia, Ethiopia
