lyrics

Wake up in the morning and I listen to the news
And current affairs, issues, and interviews
With concerned citizens of planet Earth today

So many problems and it’s easy to get confused
Or sink into the blues, or just hit snooze
Or not think about it and just check out

But we can’t shut our eyes
Because otherwise we will be
The people that chose not to see
The bed that we are gonna fucking lie in

Time’s running out we gotta smash the machine now
But when it’s broken down, will we know how
To reassemble the parts in a better way?

Or will the gears keep turning the same old flaws
Where one’s gain is another’s loss, while the planet dies?

Or can we transcend to better means and ends
These flames are getting hotter we need water to put on the fire
Situation critical, things are looking dire
In a burning house we’re gonna fucking die in
