Let's go out and forage Let's go out and forage Let's go out and forage, forage, forage You say that you smoke trees, well blood I grow the forest You pay for blackberries, did you not know that you could forage The sky was so pretty when I was a boy And you were so pretty, but I was so coy And whilst you're down on your knees your head is nearer where the floor is I've spoken to the bees, the full time workers for the florists They've tried so desperately, it's getting harder to ignore us By sky, by land, by sea, our human print is so enormous Devestation of the trees, is our main trait we're just deforesters We categorise species then we destroy their homes and quarry stuff Put them in captive breeding programme them to be tolerant of us Put poison in the seas, that we filled with microbeads We need to sustain the fish if we want to sustain the fisheries You say that you smoke trees, well blood I grow the forest You pay for blackberries, if you were smart then you would forage, put them in storage The sky was so pretty when I was a boy And you were so pretty, but I was annoying If you don't like me, then you can go and chill with Boris How many seeds did you plant today How many dreams did you start today How many trees did you help to stake How many things leafing in your wake How many times did you hapt to find amazing moments in your life How many times did it help to hate How many things did you help create Things could be beautiful, could be sublime Living in balance with nature full time Blessed with a conscious we know wrong from right It hangs on my conscience, our actions through time When you gonna wake up world and wash those pearls out of those eyes you stare from I don't want a Thatcher girl or a Snapchat girl, rather have a girl that cares And now I'm gonna grow my own, anywhere I go I don't always want to be tethered to a phone This is such a different world to the one in which id grown Cos those that make profit Don't make them the prophets They fill up their pockets Then make more from rockets Rockets need targets They crumble the markets Is nature the cost it seems Our planet's lost it team I heard that you smoke trees, let's go and grow and forest Why you still paying for your blackberries, let's go out and forage, freeze them in storage The sky was so different when I was a boy And you were so different but now they employ you Now they've taken all your dreams, turned em into porridge
