Death In The Wilderness Lyrics by J. J. Cale

Death In The Wilderness Lyrics

    Death in the wilderness
    It's a hopeless case i guess
    Who's looking out for the wilder side
    It will soon all be gone
    You can tell it won't be long
    We'll find the wilderness has died
    We'll be the lonely one
    Concrete, plastic human throng
    Tellin' one another have you heard the news
    We'll mow it down, we'll rape the ground
    'til there's nothing left to abuse
    The rabbit, he'll be gone
    The bird will sing no song
    The wolf, the bear, the lion too
    The insect far and near, creatures like the deer
    We'll put in cages a the zoo
    Death in the wilderness
    It's a hopeless case i guess
    Who's looking out for the wilder side
    It will soon all be gone
    You can tell it won't be long
    We'll find the wilderness has died
    The stream will all dry out
    The fish, gone no doubt
    We'll have no animals to fear
    The tree will be no more
    We'll use it to build the store
    Mountain scene will disappear
    These changes takin' place
    Will affect the human race
    We'll all know it when it's gone
    God save this planet now
    We've got to help somehow
    We've left it happen way too long
    Death in the wilderness
    It's a hopeless case i guess
    Who's looking out for the wilder side
    It will soon all be gone
    You can tell it won't be long
    We'll find the wilderness has died
    We'll find the wilderness has died
