From the recording Living in the Corporate U.S.A.
"Deforestation Days" is my attempt at a Brazilian rhythm since Brazil loses millions of acres of forest annually, mostly for soy bean production. This is another fun, upbeat acoustic tune.
Lyrics
Deforestation days, they don’t have to happen
And corporations play an ever growing part
But the whole world pays for their senseless lack of foresight
Forests give us air, so think of that before you cut
Deforestation days, It’s the latest craze
Can’t see through the haze of deforestation days
Alters water cycles and fragile soil fertility
Should we risk the world for palm oil and soy beans?
Threatens all the species and biological diversity
And those in charge can’t see the forest for the trees
Deforestation days, Each generation pays
For forests set ablaze in deforestation days
