about

Taking care of our land, water and air makes sense to some, but others don't seem to understand that we're all responsible for each other on this earth.

lyrics

One day on TV I heard this man complain:
"What's all this I hear about acid rain?
A few northern sportsmen who cannot find a trout?
Well, it's either them or us, so they can do without."
*Air Mail Pollution, send it for free
Post it by smokestack, address it to me.
Use the air and water. What's the cost to you?
It's guaranteed delivery and it's always postage due.

Hey listen mister, there's acid in the rain.
You just say "ignore it," that I must be insane.
Something you can't see or hear, taste, smell or touch,
Anyway it ain't so bad and to stop it costs too much.
*
Sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide,
Flying over borders, over countrysides.
No one wants the poison, no one wants the blame,
No one wants the problem but it's out there just the same.
*
This is no solution - no, this is just a song.
And this is no attempt to say who's right and who is wrong.
We all use fossil fuels from oil wells and mines,
And the smoke is sending signals, so read between the lines.
*
