Chorus:
Comin down heavy on me, comin down heavy,
Comin down heavy on me, heavy on me.
Oh, but if we all lift a finger,
We can toss trouble to the trees,
If we all lift together,
It's a breeze.
Crude oil fouling the sea,
Your sea and mine and baby's,
Crude oil fouling the sea,
The sea is dying, oh, oh, oh.
(Chorus)
Factories fouling the rivers
Your rivers and mine, and the creatures',
Exhaust fouling the air
Forests are dying, oh, oh, oh.
(Chorus)
Atom waste fouling the land
Your land and mine, and the children's,
Atom waste fouling the land
People are dying, oh, oh, oh.
(Chorus)
