GREENPEACE

First released 1997

Greenpeace began life as a "folky protest song" before being taken to Dave's home studio by Dave, Saul, Mark and Jim and turned into a brutal jungle song after days of not knowing what to do with it. It was "donated" to Greenpeace, although they appear to have made no use of it to date.

LYRICS

I don't like the world I see

So I'll avert my gaze to the TV

I'm too cool to get involved

Someone else can change the channel for me

Gonna suck the juices out of this world

Gonna treat her rough

It's all she deserves

She's so cold to me

Gonna rape this world

With my straight lines

Gonna straighten her out

Because nature is just history

There's a hole in my heart

You're so cruel to me

There's a hole in my heart

From your industry

There's a hole in my heart

It's no use to get involved

You'll never stop the world from turning

I just want to rest in peace

I can't stop the world from burning

Gonna test my bombs wherever I want,

Gonna 'poon the whale

Gonna drain the swamp

It's money to me

Gonna fuck with genes

I am what I am

Much more than a God

Much less than a man of industry

There's a hole in my heart

You're so cruel to me

There's a hole in my heart

From your industry

There's a hole
