About Mama Nature Said

According to Mark Putterford's biography of Phil Lynott, this song was inspired by an article Lynott's step-father Dennis Keeley read in a newspaper. It had "an environmentalist message which pre-empted by several years the trend towards 'green' politics in music". .

Mama Nature Said Lyrics

[00:31.55] Mama Nature said
[00:35.12] "It's murder what you've done"
[00:38.70] I sent you forth my brightest world
[00:42.35] Now it's nearly gone
[00:45.91] Birds and bees
[00:47.77] Been telling me
[00:49.51] You can't see
[00:50.46] The forest for the trees
[00:53.18] You cover up your lies
[00:55.89] With sympathies
[00:58.67] And I got no solutions
[01:02.20] To your persecution
[01:31.93] Mama Nature said
[01:35.51] "I can't believe it's true"
[01:39.11] I gave you life and food for thought
[01:42.78] Look what did you do
[01:46.30] You're killing my rivers
[01:49.95] Drowning my baby streams
[01:52.65] Day by day by day by day
[01:57.15] I hear them scream
[02:00.75] I'm so disillusioned
[02:03.48] I'm so disillusioned
[02:09.72] Mama Nature said
[02:13.32] "You're guilty of this crime"
[02:16.94] Now it's not just a matter of fact
[02:19.68] But just a matter of time
[02:24.13] Cruel will be the vengeance
[02:26.90] So savage is the deed that's done
[02:31.42] And I've got no solutions
[02:36.83] To your own pollutions
[04:37.68]
