Tearing through the forest
On my mighty bulldozer.
Tearing down the land.
Who cares about Mother Nature?
Busting down the bonds
Of nature's great power.
Bring it to its knees.
Bring on the acid showers.

The flowers are dying
Beauty comes unraveled
The fires are thriving.
Consuming all as they travel.

Commercialized Beauty
Going once, going twice.
Sold to the lady
with the painted face.
Cover Girl, Revlon,
what the hell is going on?
Go away, just let me be,
I'm not concerned with vanity.

The flowers are dying
Beauty comes unraveled
The fires are thriving.
Consuming all as they travel.

List of forbidden books
List of forbidden thoughts.
Burn them now.
Before someone gets caught
Reading Thoreau or Whitman,
or maybe even Emerson,
John Locke, or Thomas Paine
Oh my God! Are we insane?

The flowers are dying
Beauty comes unraveled
The fires are thriving.
Consuming all as they travel.
