For To Build A Bigger Town

They cut away the forest for to build a bigger town Strong men with chainsaws came one day and cut the tall trees down It took a century of years for those big trees to grow But for men with chain saws to cut them down it took a day or so. The birds and animals have fled their homes razed to the ground And they must fight for new territories if homes are to be found And they lose out to humankind when man invade their space The trees that sheltered them have gone and houses in their place. Before the buzz of the chain saws wild creatures flee in fear And forest keep on dwindling getting smaller by the year And many species are endangered and far too few who care And as they lose their habitat to man wild creatures become rare. As dead as the Dodo you've heard that saying it's still relevant today And animals become extinct as woods are cut away And extinction is forever and sad am I to say That for man and his development poor Nature has to pay. The towns keep getting bigger and development ongoing And much talk of global warming and the ozone hole is growing And men with high powered chain saws come to cut the tall trees down And dispossess the animals for to build a bigger town.
