Lyrics
c. 2020
ASCAP
She tried to warn you
Musta told you 1000 times
She was sick of
All of it but
You ignored all her signs
She tried to warn you
Over and over again
Covered your ears
Year after year
You foolishly wouldn't listen
Uh oh (repeats)
She gave you shelter
Gave you food she
Gave you unparalleled, exquisite beauty
Freely she did
Give all of her gifts
Didn't deserve none of it
She tried to warn you
But how many chances
And now that she's got your attention
How about everything
That you took for granted
She tried to warn you
But you didn't care
With all of your greed
Took more than you need
Poisoned her land
Polluted her air
Uh oh
All your bombs and
All your weapons
All the guns you wave around to threaten
Ain't got nothing on her wrath
Open your eyes
Realize
Everything that you had
She tried to warn you
But it's too late though
You want her to forgive you
After all your misuse
No, no, no, no
She tried to warn you
She tried
She tried
She tried
She tried to warn you
She tried
She tried
She tried
She tried to warn you
