Story Behind the Song
"back to nature" is not an attack on green issues generally,
we all want clean air and litter free streets,
but an attack on environmental fundamentalism where nature takes priority over man.
This seems to be commonly combined with a deep
technophobia (probably because any human development e.g. clothes, houses,
medicine etc. could be considered unnatural)
and has involved protest against things such a radical
new cancer treatment for the sake of the trees it comes from.
The song attempts to show implications of what the environmental fundamentalists (EF) suggest.
Far from the idyllic man in harmony with nature the EFs present,
the pre-industrial age contained poverty, misery, disease and heavy manual toil.
There are 6,157,400,560 (July 2001 est.) in the world,
is hard to see how pre-industrial production methods could support more than roughly 10% of this,
meaning approximately 5,500,000,000 people would have to be sacrificed for the EF cause.
Lyrics
You dream in green
You dream the world back
And backwards
To some harmony
Where man and tree
Where the coughs and the sneezes
and the spreading dieases
Made us all fall down
And we all fall down
As we all fall
Back to nature
Hear the cry of the technophobic
Back to nature
You can live off the land and in the stone age
You say it's bad
That man plays god
Then tell us that
Man should play animal
You don't mention the price
More than five billion lives
Because your world ain't big enough
for all of us
For all of us
And we all fall down
As we all fall
Back to nature
Hear the cry of the technophobic
Back to nature
You can live off the land and in the stone age
Back to nature
Back to nature
Back to nature
Back to nature
And from a unabomber shack
Attack the ones who'd change the world
Trying to cure the planet
Of what we've done
They want to tear our world down
They want to take away the things we've made
Tear our world down
Tear our world down
From a unabomber shack
Attack the ones who'd change the world
They're trying to rid the planet
Of progess
But when they can't fight the cold, diease, hunger
They come crawling back
They come crawling back
But when they can't fight the cold, diease, hunger
They come crawling back
They come crawling back
Back to nature
I won't go
Back to nature
I won't go
Back to nature
I won't go
Back to nature
I won't go
