How many children
   must die
   How many rivers run dry
   How many angels must cry
   For silver and gold
  
   Why don't we learn
   From our past
   How many more years
   Will we last
   Life is just moving so fast
   For silver and gold
  
   How much more time
   Can we waste
   How much more land
   Be defaced
   'Cause soon we will all be erased
   For silver and gold
  
   'Cause our earth should last forever
   And our lives forever on
   For God gave us all a partake
   Why can we just learn to relate
   We're pissing on our children's face
   For silver and gold
