Nature's Way Lyrics
It's nature's way of telling you something's wrong
It's nature's way of telling you in a song
It's nature's way of receiving you
It's nature's way of retrieving you
It's nature's way of telling you
Something's wrong
It's nature's way of telling you, it's in the breeze
It's nature's way of telling you, dying trees
It's nature's way of receiving you
It's nature's way of retrieving you
It's nature's way of telling you
Something's wrong
It's nature's way, it's nature's way
It's nature's way, it's nature's way
It's nature's way of telling you
It's nature's way of telling you
Something's wrong
It's nature's way of telling you
It's nature's way of telling you
In a song, oh-h
It's nature's way of receiving you
It's nature's way
It's nature's way of retrieving you
It's nature's way
It's nature's way of telling you
Something's wrong, something's wrong, something's wrong
It's nature's way of receiving you It's nature's way of retrieving you It's nature's way of telling you
This song was written when the environmental movement was in its infancy. Back in the 1960's we were still dumping raw sewage and industrial waste straight into the Great Lakes, etc. This song is an environmental protest song... akin to Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi" (they paved paradise and put up a parking lot!).
@RayMan This was easier to understand. It came out at about the time there was an oil spill in San Francisco. It got quite a few people to volunteer to clean birds.

40 years later and nature is still trying to tell us to clean up our act!
I think it's about a cough. Lung cancer.
I like how the lead singer (Randy California?) kind of sounds like he's crying.
@norder It does and he should as well as the rest of us!

First time I heard this way by a cover band about a few weeks from the release of the song. It dropped me to my knees
Cool environmental song. I originally thought of Male Impotence. You know "forget about that chick-it's not working."
