Lyrics to The Jungle Pioneer
Here where we stand there used to be a forestA timber rising endlessly before usWe cleared away that God forsaken jungleAnd in return the Indians adore usWhat was mud now is a highwayReaching wide into a prairieHorses run -- cattle are grazingYou would swear it was OklahomaDay by day dark is illuminatedGod's mistake altered and uncreatedWrong's made right left to the jungle pioneerSee in the field my little son and daughterNot long ago that ground was underwaterNow you can see them walking with the cattleSinging them songs before they go to slaughterThere are those who would appose usCrying out, "God save the planet"Bleeding hearts can't turn assunderThis the eighth and final wonderDay by day this land is liberatedGod's mistake altered and uncreatedWrong's made right left to the jungle pioneerSaddle up giddy up and ride on out of hereWe got a mile of burning to do todayGet along now gonna need you out of hereWe got a pile of earning to do todayDown in Brazil there used to be a forestNow in it's place a crazy wind is whistlingAs every tree was falling in the forestIt made a sound but nobody was listeningWhen the last is buried underWhat has been will be no longerNo matter what man may endeavorEden's gate closes foreverDay by day life is eliminatedGod's own work altered and eliminatedThrough it all there stands the jungle pioneer
