What is lost will never be regained
And no-one sheds a tear
Trees come down, a 100 years, in minutes
And no-one sheds a tear
Firewood sold by the tonne
And no-one sheds a tear
Fields covered in concrete, and not one cow
And no-one sheds a tear
Houses cover the fields
And no-one sheds a tear
Streams dry, creeks gone
And no-one sheds a tear
All gone, all forgotten, crowded estates instead
And no-one sheds a tear
Village stores swallowed by big stores
And no-one sheds a tear
Politicians promise all, but people know the truth
For money talks
And no-one sheds a tear
