We've got to save the world   Someone else may want to use it   So far we've seen   This planet's rape, how we've abused it   We've got to save the world      Russians have the biggest share   With their long fingers everywhere   And now they've bombs in outer space   With laser beams and atomic waste      Rain forest chopped for paper towels   One acre gone in every hour   Our birds and wildlife all destroyed   To keep some millionaires employed      We've got to save the whale   Greenpeace they've tried to diffuse it   But dog food salesmen   Persist on kindly to harpoon it   We've got to save the world      The armament consortium   They're selling us plutonium   Now you can make your own H-bomb   Right in the kitchen with your mom      The nuclear power that costs you more   Than anything you've known before   The half-wit's answer to a need   For cancer, death, destruction, greed      We've got to save the world   Someone's children they may need it   So far we've seen   The big business of extinction bleed it   We've got to save the world      We're at the mercy of so few   With evil hearts determined to   Reduce this planet into hell   Then find a buyer and make quick sale      To end upon a happy note   Like trying to make concrete float   Is very simple knowing that   God in your heart lives      We've got to save the world   Someone else may want to use it   It's time you knew how close we've come   We're gonna lose it, we gotta save, we gotta save   We gotta save the world
