Tom Waits - The Earth Died Screaming

The song I chose for my song project. To me this song symbolizes man's destructive impact on the world. However, man often desires to remain blissful and ignorant in times of chaos. We often don’t look at the problems of the world thinking it doesn’t effect us, but it does. For example you buy a soccer ball at the store, it says it was made in China or India, but who sewed that soccer ball together so you can play with it? 450 million children working in inhumane black market factories? Feel better now? I know I don’t. I absolutely love this song and encourage you to listen to some of his other songs. Look for the lyrics, you’ll be amazing about what he write about.
