Silent Spring Lyrics


They ravaged the land
And polluted the seas
They burned all the forests
Or cut down the trees
They damned up the rivers
And paved all the shores
Built parking lots
And discount stores
Then they started to die
But not fast enough
So, they shot at each other
With bullets and stuff
Chalk it all up to human greed
As seen on your TVSo much cruelty and madness
In these days of despair
That's not the way that I am, no
That's not the way that I am
As the earth gets sicker and sicker

A soldier aims and pulls the trigger
Angels cry and demons laugh
Another suicide bomb blood bathSilent spring, no birds sing
Angels cry, we all dieMother earth wept
As they tore off her dress
Heart broken, humiliated
In a state of distress
They ripped out her hair
And they scratched at her skin
Drained her of her fluids
Then committed their sin
They gouged out her eyes
And cauterized her womb
They sealed up her mouth
And made her a tomb
Now she lies still
At the mercy of man
I whisper in her ear"That's not the way that I am"No that's not the way that I am
No that's not the way that I am
No that's not the way that I am
No that's not the way that I am

The all-star metal project of Dave Grohl where he played almost all the instruments (outside of lead parts by Bubba Dupree of Void, Kim Thayil formerly of Soundgarden, and bass parts by Lemmy) that featured a multitude of vocalists. Dave recorded tracks reminiscent of the singers' respective bands, which he grew up greatly admiring, and sent the recordings to them, with a note stating simply "Send back with vocals."
