Tune: Sabotage by The Beastie Boys
You can't deny it, don't even try it
Let's get one thing straight, soil is your fate
You can't keep living on this planet here
Unless you're soil rich, hold it near and dear
So what's the deal, you ask me "why?"
"What has dirt got to do with my life?"
Oh my my! You don't know why?
I'm telling y'all, that's soil sabotage
So, so, so, so listen up 'cause healthy soil ain't nothin'
It'll shut us down with the loss of enough 'n
It's true: if it's gone we're gone
Take action now, so life goes on and on
'Cause what you see is not all you get
It feeds us all and even more yet
You're livin' in a way that's a mirage
If not treating soil well - soil sabotage
How our backs could end up against a wall?
Wastin' soil, that's sabotage
Crushin' soil, that's sabotage
Trashin' soil, that's sabotage
Harms us all, soil sabotage
Don't take food for granted, it must be planted
All things must eat from what's beneath our feet
"But I can't stand veggies; I put meat in my face"
Meat eats plants; plants nutrients held by soil in place
So make no mistakes; we must get a handle
Be soil rich or else you'll blow out our candle
Don't live in a way that's a mirage
If you do anything, stop soil sabotage!
You can't deny it, don't even try it
Let's get one thing straight, soil is your fate
You can't keep living on this planet here
Unless you're soil rich, hold it near and dear
So what's the deal, you ask me "why?"
