Analysis of Oh! Zone Earth
A little fart here and there
But one mindless gag ceases the air
Fire burns from the anuses of menacing rockets
And we catch cold to see holes in the blanket
When we are hot we need water
Now harmattan, winter, summer no longer matter
No certain time for a normal season
So we all complain we live in prison
We till and kill the land
We drain the ocean for sand
We hunt the wild to extinction
Just to make way for our foolish congestion
We punctured a gift of nature
And later wait in vain for moisture
One drop of rain turns a disaster
Water takes over everywhere like a monster
We bring down the trees for a fee
Please, stop this demolition spree!
