DESCRIPTION:
Track 4 from the 1990 album, The American Way

LYRICS:

Toxins, pollutants and poisonous gasses.
Without notice take their toll on the masses.
Air becomes thicker than the water we drink.
People unaware of the spread of disease.

Smoke fills the sky and the sun disappears.
Rain from above is like acid filled tears.
The fragile balance of sky and earth, has been altered forever.
Harmony disturbed.

Towering temples of modernization.
Megatropolis, monument to civilization.
Pollution and waste is direct indication.
To the growing problem of the world's situation.

Smoke fills the sky, the sun disappears.
Rain from above is like acid filled tears.
The fragile balance of sky and earth, has been altered forever.
Harmony disturbed.

What will it take, to make us see?
These are crimes against humanity.
Not only you, not only me, but even our future society.
These are crimes against humanity.

Crimes... (x3)

Pain and suffering, are what can be found.
Violence and hatred, are what abound.
Building the weapons, that we can't use.
Can't we see? They have only one use.

We need more compassion, not more war planes.
Are we so blind, uncaring insane?
Brought into this world with nothing.
And with nothing we're destined to depart...

What will it take, to make us see?
These are crimes against humanity.
Not only you, not only me, but even our future society.
These are crimes against humanity.

Crimes... (x2)

Crimes, against, humanity.
