Brilliant new song by Ro Goodwin
It Was Madness (To Burn Our Waste)
 |
| Award winning
Scottish based Film-maker, Ro J Goodwin, will release
his anti-incinerator protest song entitled “It Was Madness” 28
September, 2009. “It Was Madness” is being released to
coincide with Global No-Burn Action Day and the Scottish No-Burn
Action Day and will go on sale on i-tunes and via.....(CD locally?) Ro will give a live performance of his debut single outside the Scottish Parliament in Ro’s self combusting song is a folk/rock song inspired by the campaign he successfully helped to fight in his hometown of Invergordon in the Scottish Highlands. When a household rubbish burner was proposed for the town Ro put pen to paper and plectrum to string and came up with some truly impassioned lyrics, and a memorable folk tune likened to ‘ “In my younger days I wrote a little and played in a band, and this song just came along and virtually wrote itself. We know from previews that communities around the world will be downloading this song, and using it to convey their message for years to come but we are aiming to light a fire under the Great British public, and targeting the charts!” said Ro. A taster is available on http://web2.nessmp3.com/bands/1327/ and http://itwasmadness.tripod.com |
Lyrics (Needless to say it's copyright and mustn't be used to raise money without the express written permission of its owner.) VERSE 1: In this world of insanity We just need a little purity We are sick with pollution And we don’t want their solution We’re not asking for charity All we want is some clarity Burning waste for the sake of wealth Makes no sense if you lose you health BRIDGE: If and when you get old the story’s already been told CHORUS: That it was Madness to burn our waste It was Madness it was done in haste It was Madness to burn our waste It was a sad, sad waste of our resources It was a sad, sad waste of our resources VERSE 2: When you burn certain articles The smoke contains nano-particles Scrubbing the air only makes it worse They get in your lungs and they’re a curse What are we leaving to our children? A poison potion in a leaky cauldron? It’s killing babies and the Human Race Do I need to say it’s a damned disgrace? Repeat Bridge and Chorus VERSE 3: We must give up incineration And be the clean generation We gotta reduce, recycle and reuse The Earth’s not ours for us to abuse Looking back on all of Man’s mistakes We’ve all seen what a mess He makes So now it’s time to apply the brakes And save ourselves a lot of heartaches Repeat Bridge and Chorus Madness Madness It was Madness to burn our waste It was a sad, sad waste of our resources It was a sad, sad waste of our resources It was a sad, sad waste of my resources It was a sad, sad waste of your resources |
