Midnight oil - River runs red

Midnight oil - River runs red. Blue sky mining.1990. "So you cut all the tall trees down, you poisoned the sky and the sea
Youve taken whats good from the ground
But youve left precious little for me
You remember the flood and the fall, we remember the light on the hill
There should be enough for us all, but the dollar is driving us still

River runs red, black rain falls, dust in my hand
River runs red, black rain falls, on my bleeding land

So we came and we conquered and found
Riches of commons and kings
Who strangled and wrestled the ground
But they never put back anything
Now Im trapped like a dog in a cage
Wherever the truth is pursued
It must be the curse of the age
Whats taken is never renewed"

I love the intro for this song!

@tox0tes Well. Propably beacause it´s the thruth. And it´s not just the pollution we are talking of here. Imagine your self how the world would be like in about 200 years or so. We are now over 7 billion people in the world and we are growing more and more. We can´t feed all people.

We are all f---d. If people can´t realize that they are naive or retarded...

Hey Peter how about Murdoch's kin spraying the crap out of Austrailia's great blue skies? Glad you got rich acting so concerned, wanker should be up screaming to stop the destruction of the environment not waiting for a political pension. Faker, sad.
