Jim Page - Amazon

We live in a boomtown metropolis
A place where success is a weapon of war
Some people live in spectacular mansions
Some people can’t afford to live anywhere anymore

But Bezos has the money
He’s got all of that money
More than a hundred billion dollars in his pants
Way down in his pants

They built a shiny new temple to themselves downtown
People genuflect as they pass
Artificial sunlight and climate control
So they can colonize the jungle behind a pain of glass

And because Bezos has the money
He’s got of all that money
Clutching in the fingers of his hand
He’s a rich man

Amazon - you don’t have the right to use that name
Amazon - it is a nation and a people
Amazon - one of the world’s greatest rivers
Amazon - it is the lungs of the planet

And we can barely breath anymore

We gather together to see what is to be done
We know the risks we take are perilous
We sharpen up our wits for the days ahead to come
Somebody has to and it might as well be us

Because we have the history
We know what we are doing
And we will not just disappear
We’re gonna stay right here

Amazon - you don’t have the right to use that name
Amazon - it is a nation and a people
Amazon - one of the world’s greatest rivers
Amazon - it is the lungs of the planet

And this is our planet
And it is not for sale
