Time and Disregard lyrics

From the bird and the deer who live on the same

To the condominiums that litter the plain

It took time... time and disregard

From the green and the trees that shot high in the air

To the high-business market-men who take all that's there

It took time... time and disregard

One more acre, another tree

It's all untamed, of course it's free

One more acre, it seems no one cares

Another great chance to put a building there

I used to roam, wherever I would

I'd see my friends and I'd eat what I could

We did live together in our borderless state

Survival our instinct, nature our fate

Today I see borders and my friends disappear

Man chooses my fate thus I live in fear

Tomorrow the trucks come

I've nowhere to run

My home is destroyed so they can have fun

From the wild natural wonderland from which we all came

To the cement and metal that lost all the game

It took time... time and disregard...
