Salty cars drink from the oil in the ground

Salty cars drink from the oil in the ground
Into the ground seeps the water that falls from the sky
It's a shame that we can't use wet raindrops for fuel
Instead we rigid humans kill the peaceful land
By burning toxic fumes, harmful for the earth
Green plants cry for human attention
Our shaken earth screams for mercy
It's a shame that we can't work together
Instead we bored humans choose to destroy
By ruining the tranquil place where we all live
