lyrics

When all around there's nothing
Yet you know there is so much
And everything you believed in is fading away
The trees and the fields
And your whole life too
Just fading into the sea

One day the polar ice caps
Will come down just for you
And take you to a place where you've never seen
Deep down below the deep blue sea
To a land that's known as hell
And pay us for killing mother earth

There may be no solution
To this world wide pollution
But at least we can stop and realise
The more we bury deep inside
The more we burn our all the skies
Makes it less likely to stop this suicide

So when your child comes home from school
And asks you what you're doing
To stop the world from going to it's grave
What will you say?

Well son, I gave up all the things they said
And I guess so did everybody else
But the people who said that the governments never listen
Were right I'm afraid
So concerned were they with who had more power
And how much money they could get
For their filthy little schemes
That they did not listen
To those they had employed
And the incredible thing is that the powers that be
They ignored themselves

about

Wob UK

Acoustic Country/folk Punk probably describes me best at the moment

"A spring heeled, iron lunged avalanche of energy and melody.
Wob's sound is a glorious and intelligent blend of punk, pop and folk."
