And when man gained dominion
  Over land and the oceans
  He began to harm the planet
  With his asphalt and his toxins
  And to lay the forest bare
  And to poison even the air
  And he killed every beast
  And taught the seas how to bleed
  
  Burned by the fire we make,
  What a shame
  
  Then the winds gave in
  And the rain knew no season
  And the sun came to beat
  On a land of sand and diseases
  And when God looked down
  On the earth and saw it was broken
  Then the tears of God fell down
  Through a hole in the ozone
  
  Burned by the fire we make
  What a shame
  
  This is the nature of the human race
  To kill off anything that gets in our way
  Poor mother earth we disfigured her face
  Man is the maker of his own disgrace
  
  Burned by the fire we make
  What a shame
