Front Lines

Two by two in four by fours
 They come to greet the forest floor
 Open wide they tell her quick
 Concrete falls and starts to stick
 (Get away from her)
 (Stay away, stay away)
 (Get away)
 Cities stretch, cancer grows
 Veins run deep, her skin turns cold
 Past the roads that stretch and climb
 Somewhere in here is our front line
 (Get away from her)
 (Get away, get away)
 (Stay away)
 (Progression, destruction)
 In the end she will swallow you again she will
 (Progression, destruction)
 In the end she will swallow you again she will
 (Progression, destruction)
 In the end she will swallow you again she will, she will
 (Progression, destruction)
 In the end she will swallow you again she will
 (Progression, destruction)
 In the end she will swallow you again she will
 (Progression, destruction)
 In the end she will swallow you again she will
 (Progression, destruction)
 In the end she will swallow you again she will
 (Progression, destruction)
 In the end she will swallow you again she will
 Somewhere beyond the bulldozed rows
 The fallen giants lying low
 Sometime before the Earth has died
 Is where we all must draw our line
 (Get away from her)
 (Stay away, stay away)
 (Get away)
 "We need a better course
 Because we've already passed the point of no return
 We will never again know an Earth
 That does not have more radioactivity
 Than was naturally planned
 We will never again know an Earth
 With an ocean free of chemicals
 We have invented things
 That the Earth does not know how to handle
 If we keep growing at the rate we're growing now
 We're going to have to stop
 And when we've gone through the last wild things
 We're going to have to go back to where we were
 Go back to where we were and use our science
 Our technology, our humanity
 Our love for our fellow creatures
 And for the Earth, do better there
 And leave these wild places, these wild patterns
 This vast encyclopedia, of knowing
 For the answers it holds
 To the questions man doesn't yet know how to ask."
 -- David Brower, 1974
