Lyrics
Don't shrink wrap my world
Our selfishness is taking its toll
Don't shrink wrap my world
Don't smother our mother's soul
Welcome to our planet
It's like a great big goldfish bowl
8 billion people all crying for more
There's no place for the waste to go
Chorus
We like to make life easy
We don't think about the cost
It's so hard to appreciate
Simple gifts until they're lost
Chorus
INSTRUMENTAL
There are toxics in the water
There is poison in the sky
We're turning up the thermostat
How long until we fry?
Chorus
Chlorofluorocarbons
CO2 and PVC
What have we done to nature?
It's time for us to set her free
Chorus 2x
