Bio fuel... will make us more hungry... bio fuel...crazy idea
Evil men, with that wicked intention...
Where is your plan...for the next generation
Sitting very passive... will only make things more massive
We have got to stop them... from destroying all creation
Burning up the food... is gonna make more people hungry
Cutting down the trees.. will only poison our air
Bio fuel use... is gonna make food more expensive
Deforestation... is gonna mash up our nation.
