Yesteryear lyrics

Old man bristlecone, please hear my plea:
Draw from your wealth of knowledge from the last ten centuries
Help me to tell my brothers and my sisters too
We`ve got to save our planet - and here`s what we`ve got to do
We`ve got to:
Manage our resources, protect our atmosphere
Leave a planet for our children like the man of yesteryear
Yesteryear

I don`t see how they do it - rape our mother and her skies
All in the name of money and feed us with a pack of lies
I want to swim in the ocean and make castles in the sand
Not swim in all this garbage - people you`ve got to understand
We`ve got to:
Manage our resources, protect our atmosphere
Leave a planet for our children like the man of yesteryear
Yesteryear

This is a simple song from a simple man
It brings a simple message - a message with a simple plan
We`ve got to clean up our oceans, we`ve got to clean up our skies
We`ve got to make corporations open up their fucking eyes
We`ve got to:
Manage our resources, protect our atmosphere
Leave a planet for our children like the man of yesteryear
Yesteryear
