Earth Crime
Music and Lyrics by Rob Oswin (aka RAW Boswin)
(Scene: The CEO of a Pulp and Paper  Corporation at a press conference)

I’m from the school, of the mighty dollar,
I hunger for its power,
Don’t play me for no fool, Don’t scream and holler,
Its my room, its my tower,

Try standin’ in the work place, stayin out of food lines,
Hey Buddy, why the long face, its just another Earth Crime

You’ll but my product, but you won’t buy my process,
It makes no sense to me,
You’ll paint my paper to stage your protest,
Hey man, that’s hypocrisy,
Cuz I’m just making a living off of what Mother Nature’s giving.
That’s all, I take what I need…

Try standin’ in the work place, stayin out of food lines,
Hey Buddy, why the long face, its just another Earth Crime

Don’t take my patience so casually,
Don’t push me too far away,
Don’t close your eyes and say you can see,
And expect me to understand and hear what you say…

Try standin’ in the work place, stayin out of food lines,
Hey Buddy, why the long face, its just another Earth Crime

And if you shut me down, this will be another ghost town,
A Human tragedy,
So tell me what’s the harm, with a little tree farm? 
If we only take what we need?

Try standin’ in the work place, Try to stay out of food lines,
Hey Buddy, why the long face, its just another Earth Crime
Try standin’ in the work place, Try to stay out of food lines,
Hey Buddy, why the long face, its just another Earth Crime
Hey Buddy, why the long face, its just another Earth Crime
