Earth a Killya Songtext
von King Midas Sound

The earth will kill you if you try to kill it
Your body heals you if you discipline it

In this time we have to live with earth
Stop the relentless pursuit of money
Everyt'ing have a soul
Rivers, stones, plants, and trees all living
Their power can be used and good, or destroyed
We shall all live again through births and deaths, spirits persist
Live simple
You can't sell the earth for profit
It's to live, not to sell
The earth will kill you if you try to kill it

It's a long time now we organic
Dem so called called scientists now catch on
Why they wanna call we thinkin' primitive
When they first thought these drugs to poison
And look how they poison all the water
And sellin' it back to us in plastic bottles


The earth will kill you if you try to kill it
Your body heals you if you discipline it

My stomach is no graveyard for the dead
Plant t'ings, herbs, yams, callaloo
T'ings that come from the dust
Man come from the dust
So you thought the west could make a system to live?
Well, now we'll see who dead first
One thing i know, my liberty is my liberty

You see, my grandmother anytime she was sick
She would dream what see need to eat
And wanna talk abou' medicine?
She was in touch
She say all animals in the world could do this
Why not man?
But it seems we lose this ability
Just to keep in touch with what we need to live

The earth will kill you if you try to kill it
Your body heals you if you discipline it
