Beauty is the Beast
1) Unclean
Factories always
Spilling out the dirt
To add to the smog
And children get hurt
Playing on waste ground
In a barbed wire hell
Deserted buildings
And abandoned wells
Filled up to the brim
With chemical drums
Awaiting disposal
But nobody comes
But oil makes rainbows
In puddles of rain
Beast creates beauty
To deaden the pain
2) Unseen
The nuclear power
That lights up our lives
Is slowly killing
Our children and wives
Are no longer safe
From the air all around
Pollutants dig deep
To kill off the ground
That we walk upon
And scrape up a life
It stabs at our lungs
As sure as a knife
But oil makes rainbows
In puddles of rain
Beast becomes beauty
To deaden the pain
3) Has Been
Aerosols spraying
To break the ozone
Skin cancers biting
Right down to the bone
You give to your dog
With mad cows disease
Waste from the arms race
We dump in the seas
Is choking all life
On this planet Earth
‘til the day we die
From our time of birth
But oil makes rainbows
In puddles of rain
Beast creates beauty
To deaden the pain
