Richie Havens: "What About Me"

1974

you poisoned my sweet water
you cut down my green trees
the food you fed my children
was the cause of their disease
my world is slowly falling down
and the air's not good to breathe
and those of us who care enough
we have to do some deeds
what you gonna do about me?
oh what you gonna do about me?
