The rape of the World

Tracy Chapman

Transposer:

(x2) Mother of us all Place of our birth How can we stand aside And watch the rape of the world This the beginning of the end This is the most heinous of crimes It's the deadliest of sins The greatest violation of all time Mother of us all Place of our birth We all are witness To the rape of the world (2x) You've seen her stripped mined You've heard of bombs exploded underground You know the sun shines Hotter than ever before Mother of us all Place of our birth We all are witness To the rape of the world (2x) Some claim to have crowned her queen With cities of concrete and steel But there is no glory no honor In what results From the rape of the world Mother of us all Place of our birth We all are witness To the rape of the world (2x) She has been clear-cut She has been dumped on She has been poisoned and beaten up And we have been witness To the rape of the world Mother of us all Place of our birth How can we stand aside And watch the rape of the world? (2x) If you look you'll see it with your own eyes If you listen you will hear her cries If you care you will stand and testify And stop the rape of the world (This verse is played a bit funkier) Stop the rape of the world Mother of us all Mother of us all Mother of us all Mother of us all Mother of us all Mother of us all N.C. Mother of us all N.C. Mother of us all

Cette chanson évoque la douleur et la souffrance infligées à notre planète, présentée comme une mère qui a été maltraitée et exploitée. Elle dénonce les abus environnementaux, tels que le déboisement, la pollution et les guerres, en soulignant que nous sommes tous témoins de ces violations. À travers ses paroles, elle appelle chacun à prendre conscience de la réalité, à écouter les cris de la Terre et à agir pour mettre un terme à cette destruction. Dans un contexte où la crise environnementale est de plus en plus pressante, cette œuvre résonne comme un cri d'alarme contre l'apathie. Elle nous rappelle notre responsabilité collective envers notre planète, un appel à se lever et à défendre ce qui nous a été donné.
