Tears of Truth

Rushing for the money underneath the sea
Never a second thought about humanity
Opened up pandora's box and they don't know what to do
Poisoning the ocean and it's killing me and you

We try, and try but there's nothing we can do
And we cry and cry, tears of truth

Truly we know nothing about the state we're in
The planet as we know it might be coming to an end
We've done this to ourselves through our greed and lust
Maybe this time Mother Earth is done with us

We try, and try but there's nothing we can do
And we cry and cry, tears of truth

All across the gulf you can hear the wildlife scream
Millions of them dying in the oily sheen
We've known for over forty years of this possibility
In God's own image, who the hell are we

We try, and try but there's nothing we can do
And we cry and cry, tears of truth
