Permaculture principle 4: Apply Self-regulation and Accept Feedback - Learn from mistakes. Start listening to what the planet is telling us. We're getting more feedback than ever and it's time to wake up to it's limits!

lyrics

Hi, I’m your planet,
You might know me from such places
As the one you inhabit
I’m the air you breathe
And the land on which standing
The food that you eat
But I’m getting a little bit dark on
Some of the ways you treat me

See I give you
Everything you need
Yet still you want more
You’re falling over yourselves with greed
It is time I remind you
To exercise restraint
Because if there’s one thing you should know it’s infinite, I aint

You better L.I.M.I.T
What you take from me
Just get to know the deal
With my L.I.M.I.T

You’ve been having a field day on my skin
Cutting it up, burrowing in
But I’m reaching for my skin lotion
To take away the pain
Better start to regulate your lifestyle of excess
Cos I’m picking up my telephone and dialling up the pest control guy

Get your L.I.M.I.T on
Im gonna count to three
Cos I’ve had it up to here
So get your L.I.M.I.T on

Cos I’ve got limits and I’m not afraid to use them
With your bad habits, you do nothing but abuse them
Yeah, I’ve got limits and I’m not afraid to use them
If you keep going, well all your privileges you’ll lose them
Mmm, mm, mm mm, mm, mmm mm

Now, it’s time to check yourself and stop pointing fingers out
Because self-responsibility is what it’s all about
Stop relying on the top, cos it starts here on the ground
Just get back to your gardens people, stop foolin’ around

Yeah, get back, get back
I said get back, get back
Just get back, get back
To your garden

I said, get back, get back
C’mon now get back, get back
Just get back, get back
To your garden

Cos I’ve got limits
And I’m not afraid to use them
Harsh consequences
Well I’m about to introduce them

I’ve got limits
And I’m just about to use them
Are you gonna listen now
The future’s yours for the choosing
The future’s yours for the choosing
Yeah, it is yours for the choosing
Mmm, mm, mm mm, mm, mmm mm
