Stevie Wonder - Saturn

"Packing my bags-going away
To a place where the air is clean
On saturn
There's no sense to sit and watch the people die
We don't fight our wars the way you do
We put back all the things we use
On Saturn
There's no sense to keep on doing such crimes

There's no principles in what you say
No direction in the things you do
For your world is soon to come to a close
Through the ages all great men have taught
Truth and happiness just can't be bought-or sold
Tell me why are you people so cold

I'm......
Going back to Saturn where the rings all glow
Rainbow, moonbeams and orange snow
On Saturn
People live to be two hundred and five
Going back to saturn where the people smile
Don't need cars cause we've learn to fly
On Saturn
Just to live to us is our natural high

We have come here many times before
To find your strategy to peace is war
Killing helpless men, women and children
That don't even know what they are dying for
We can't trust you when you take a stand
With a cold expression on your face
Saying give us what we want or we'll destroy

I'm......
Going back to Saturn where the rings all glow
Rainbow, moonbeams and orange snow
On Saturn
People live to be two hundred and five
Going back to saturn where the people smile
Don't need cars cause we've learn to fly
On Saturn
Just to live to us is our natural high"

I've been listening to Stevie Wonder's Songs In The Key Of Life tonight. Its nice seeing him writing a song about the depravity of our society with a very nice space-ish tune. The songs touched on all the usual negative topics like war and politics. But i noticed something:

"We don't fight our wars the way you do
We put back all the things we use
On Saturn
There's no sense to keep on doing such crimes"

Not putting back all the things we use is a crime?

Well i guess he has a point if he is talking about human consumption of fossil fuel, or how we are making sharks go the way of the dodo bird.

Anyway, click on the video and listen.
