It's a fragile ecosystem
that we've all got to exist.
We got to learn some give and take.
Take care.
For goodness sake, you know we got to
walk lightly
Some people,
so far Bob Dylan said the time,
say you're a-changin'
But I think it was just the deck chairs rearrangin'
While the mothership Earth keeps takin' a-boutin'
The icebergs,
you know they're just gonna keep on meltin'
We gotta walk lightly on the face of the Earth
They blame the scientists who rates
fall the price Irrespective of the costs
I'm talking about,
you remember that Flaming Lips song?
But it's the growth economics that promotes all the racing
Not the scientists,
along with the climate deniers
And they're reaping the green haytin' You know we gotta
walk lightly on the face
Love
the low ceilings you have here in England.
It's hard for tall people, you know.
And we're living in an age
They call the Anthropocene
It's supposed to be the shortest age that's ever been
Dominated by this species with the rare distinction
Being the only one to cause a global mass extinction
You know we gotta walk lightly on the face of the Earth
My guitar a little out of tune but live with it,
okay?
Now we're facing a problem there's no denying
Walk lightly then!
Be a long-haired hippie or even a
Gaian believer in the Gaia hypothesis
To know that we need some symbiosis here
Not this massive shallow global psychosis
You know we gotta walk lightly on the face of the Earth
Walk lightly on the face
Yes,
this one Earth is not another that I know of anyway
Walk lightly on the face of this wonderful,
beautiful, pale blue dot
face of the Earth
On the face,
on the face of the Earth
