The Jungle Pioneer - Manhattan Transfer with Phil Collins[00:00:00]
Here where we stand there used to be a forest[00:00:29]
A timber rising endlessly before us[00:00:32]
We cleared away that god forsaken jungle[00:00:36]
And in return the indians adore us[00:00:39]
What was mud now is a highway[00:00:43]
Reaching wide into a prairie[00:00:46]
Horses run -- cattle are grazing[00:00:49]
You would swear it was oklahoma[00:00:53]
Day by day dark is illuminated[00:00:56]
God's mistake altered and uncreated[00:01:00]
Wrong's made right left to the jungle pioneer[00:01:03]
See in the field my little son and daughter[00:01:11]
Not long ago that ground was underwater[00:01:14]
Now you can see them walking with the cattle[00:01:18]
Singing them songs before they go to slaughter[00:01:21]
There are those who would appose us[00:01:25]
Crying out Ł˘god save the planetŁ˘[00:01:28]
Bleeding hearts can't turn assunder[00:01:32]
This the eighth and final wonder[00:01:35]
Day by day this land is liberated[00:01:39]
God's mistake altered and uncreated[00:01:42]
Wrong's made right left to the jungle pioneer[00:01:46]
Saddle up giddy up and ride on out of here[00:01:49]
We got a mile of burning to do today[00:01:52]
Get along now gonna need you out of here[00:01:56]
We got a pile of earning to do today[00:01:59]
Down in brazil there used to be a forest[00:02:25]
Now in it's place a crazy wind is whistling[00:02:28]
As every tree was falling in the forest[00:02:32]
It made a sound but nobody was listening[00:02:35]
When the last is buried under[00:02:39]
What has been will be no longer[00:02:42]
No matter what man may endeavor[00:02:45]
Eden's gate closes forever[00:02:49]
Day by day life is eliminated[00:02:52]
God's own work altered and eliminated[00:02:56]
Through it all there stands the jungle pioneer[00:03:00]
