The Earth Dies Screaming - UB40
A warm dry wind is all
That breaks the silence
The highways quiet scars across the land
People lie eyes closed
No longer dreaming
The earth dies screaming
The earth dies screaming
The earth dies screaming
Your country needs you
Let's strike up the band
The earth dies screaming
The earth dies screaming
Despite all odds we must
Defend our land
Like scattered pebbles
Cars lie silent waiting
Oil less engines seized by dirt and sand
Bodies hanging limp
No longer bleeding
The earth dies screaming
The earth dies screaming
The earth dies screaming
Your country needs you
Let's strike up the band
The earth dies screaming
The earth dies screaming
Despite all odds we must defend our land
Half eaten meals lie rotting on the tables
Money clutched within a bony hand
Shutters down the banks are not receiving
The earth dies screaming
The earth dies screaming
The earth dies screaming
Your country needs you
Let's strike up the band
The earth dies screaming
The earth dies screaming
Despite all odds we must defend our land
