"Cry Out" lyrics

Once it was a very nice planet
A home for those of us who cared
But there are fools in high places
Who foul the sea and air
They dump the land with toxic waste
They fill the sea with oil
They poisoned plant and animal
And irradiate the air and soil

We've got to cry out
Protest, object, be heard
Day in, day out, this fight must never rest
It's time to save the world
Cry out
Protest, object, be heard
Let's raise a shout
Make this our common quest to build a better world

And that's not the worst, the deadly burst
Our radiation vision looms
They're threatening to send a lot of us
Down to our collective doom
To Hell with those whose carelessness
In pollution is expressed
To Hell with wars and politics
Where victory is only death

We've got to cry out
Protest, object, be heard
Day in, day out, this fight must never rest
Its time to save the world
Cry out
Protest, object, be heard
Let's raise a shout
Make this our common quest, to build a better world

This planet once was so alive
And nature bloomed in every spot
But the time to save the Earth is now
'Cause its the only hope we've got

We've got to cry out
Protest, object, be heard
Day in, day out, this fight must never rest
Its time to save the world
Cry out
Protest, object, be heard
Let's raise a shout
Make this our common quest to build a better world

Cry out
Protest, object, be heard
Day in, day out, this fight must never rest
Its time to save the world
Cry out
Protest, object, be heard
Let's raise a shout
Make this our common quest to build a better world

Cry out
Protest, object, be heard
Day in, day out, this fight must never rest
Its time to save the world
Cry out
Protest, object, be heard
Let's raise a shout
Make this our common quest

Cry out
Protest, object, be heard
Day in, day out, must never rest
Its time to save the world
Cry out
Protest, object, be heard
Let's raise a shout
Make this our common quest to build a better world

Cry out
Protest, object, be heard
Day in, day out, must never rest
Its time to save the world

Cry out
