CHOP DOWN THE FORESTS
I want to share the lyrics to CHOP DOWN THE FORESTS from The World Premiere of THE EELWAX JESUS 3-D POP MUSIC SHOW by Max Baker and Lee Sellars:
IGNATZ
I’M NOT AFRAID OF ADMITTING
I’M JUST ANOTHER MONKEY ON THE EARTH
I’M ONE IN OVER 6 BILLION
SO WHAT I’VE GOT TO SAY
HAS PROBABLY BEEN HEARD
I’M NOT SO BLIND I CAN’T RECOGONIZE
WE’RE ALL PRETTY MUCH THE SAME
WE THINK WE’RE FREE BUT WE’RE HYPNOTIZED
BY THE PROPAGANDER IN OUR BRAINS
I’M SO WONDERFULLY SPECIAL AND I’M DIFFERENT
WIPE THAT NOTION FROM YOUR HEAD
BEING ALIVE IS SUFFICENT
BUT WE’RE ALL JUST SOON-TO-BE-DEADS
CHORUS
SO LET’S CHOP DOWN THE FORESTS
WHILE WE’RE AT IT
LET’S KILL AS MANY SPECIES AS WE CAN
LET’S DESTROY EVERYTHING THAT’S NATURAL AND
ALL…FOR THE GLORY OF MAN
IGNATZ
FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FOR THE MONEY
GRAB AS MUCH OF IT AS YOU DESIRE
I BELIEVE BEING RICH WILL MAKE ME HAPPY
EVEN IF IT MAKES ME A LIAR
RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT ON THE ISSUES
JUSTIFYING EXCESS IN MY MIND
I CAN’T ESCAPE WHEN I WANT TO
IT’S STILL ILLEGAL TO GET HIGH
I CAN’T GET ENOUGH OF THIS CULTURE
ADVERTISING EVERTHING I NEED
THE SIMPSONS SELLING WHOPPERS ON THE TV
A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF OUR GREED
CHORUS
SO LET’S CHOP DOWN THE FORESTS
WHILE WE’RE AT IT
LET’S KILL AS MANY SPECIES AS WE CAN
LET’S DESTROY EVERYTHING THAT’S NATURAL AND
ALL…FOR THE GLORY OF MAN
IGNATZ
LET’S DIVIDE THE WORLD INTO COUNTRIES
LET’S GENETICALLY MODIFY OUR FOOD
LET’S START ANOTHER WAR ABOUT RELIGION
AND TELL EVERONE GOD IS GOOD
CHORUS
SO LET’S CHOP DOWN THE FORESTS WHILE WE’RE AT IT
LET’S KILL AS MANY SPECIES AS WE CAN
LET’S DESTROY EVERYTHING THAT’S NATURAL
AND ALL FOR THE GLORY OF MAN
