hungry planet
Written by Skip Battin, Kim Fowley, and Roger McGuinn I'm a hungry planet I had a youthful face They were in a hurry To go to outer space They needed bombs and tungsten Ore and iron too So they climbed and they dug and they blew Divided me right in two I'm a hungry planet Orbiting in the sky The things they did to hurt me Pass on by and by Now here I am all alone They never ever learn Well I had to shake and quake And make their houses burn I'm a hungry planet I had the bluest seas Oh the people kept choppin' down All my finest trees Poisonin' my oxygen Diggin' into my skin Takin' more out of my good earth Than they'll ever put back in I'm a hungry planet.
