I'm coming down the mountain again
But the trees are no where to be seen
Fires burning up this native land
And the smoke is choking all the green
What have we done now?
There's CO2 and poison gas
The worlds burning up all over
And we just keep on keeping on
We just keep on keeping on
Life is just a memory
Fading out in sympathy
Every summer I return to you
And I look for the better days ahead
When this land is calmer, we can grow older
We'll build a house on our native land
We'll protect our ancestral band
Life is just a memory
Fading out in sympathy
This whole country's a joke
Not even worth a second toke
When we figure out, what it means to be
A northern state under decree
From the rich, wealthy and free
And we just keep on keeping on
We just keep on keeping
Life is just a memory
Fading out in sympathy
