Songs for A Dying PlanetSong by: Joe Walsh

Is anyone out there?
Does anybody listen or care anymore? We are living on a dying planet,
We’re killing everything that’s alive, And anyone who tries to deny it Wears a tie

And gets paid to lie
So I wrote these songs for a dying planet, I’m sorry but I’m telling the truth,
And for everybody trying to save it These songs are for you, too.
Is anyone out there?
