Song: Deep Down

They light the heather and leave it
Leave it to burn all night
They don’t just burn the heather
They burn everything in sight

And everything not in sight
They burn the topsoil through
And everything not in sight
Deep down in me and you

They grade the whole creation
That wandered wild and free
Conserving, culling, breeding
Degrading all they see

And everything not in sight
You don’t see at the zoo
And everything not in sight
Deep down in me and you

Conserve endangered species
While the unendangered die
The pig is not in danger!
Oh can’t you hear it cry

On the concentration farm?
In the bacon factory?
Conserve consumer values
Show warthogs on TV

And everything not in sight
You don’t see on TV
And everything not in sight
Deep down in you and me

Seas of concrete cover
Woodland sheared and flayed
Sabbath’s coming, put on your glasses
Look at the world we’ve made

What a lovely sight

And everything not in sight
Deep down in the sea
And everything not in sight
Deep down in you and me

And everything not in sight
At the heart of every tree
And everything not in sight
Deep down in you and me
