This song is a call to have more respect for, and coexist with the natural Earth that we live in. I'm no scientist, I just love the beautiful trees, rivers, mountains, and lakes I grew up around, and I'd hate to see them wither away simply because we can't realize that all of our decisions make a difference.
lyrics
We want the sunlight, but we don't want the heat
We want the cleanest air, but we don't want the trees
We want a mild temp, but we don't want the clouds,
We wanna see the snow if it doesn't hang around
Cause we are the highest, aren't we mighty?
Well I ain't now fool, but I ain't no priest
We're just teenagers in the history
of the wonderland that we all call home
So I find It real strange that we think we would know
everything
Well we think we're so smart, and we think we're so tough
Think we know what's best, well let me tell you what
We ain't above her wisdom, we ain't above her strength
We been messin' with the mother, someday
She's gonna put us in our place
We been messin' with the mother, someday
she's gonna put us in our place
