I'm not a conspiracy theorist
|
But I read blogs by scientists and
|
I believe they know more than we are being told
|
By the mainstream media sources
|
Want the truth to hold its horses
|
So there isn't mass hysteria
|
As the sea floor erodes
|
And those in and on the ocean
|
All say "hey, what's this commotion"
|
And try to get away, they are moving in slow motion
|
'cause their bodies are so heavy from a substance thick and deadly
|
They say "I don't want to die, it's all your fault, I wasn't ready"
|
And I'm sorry and I'm scared and sad and mad and unprepared
|
To see the stuff that's in the sea evaporate into the air
|
Where it will gather and form clouds that travel north upon the wind
|
Drop its cool refreshing poison raindrops on our crops and children
|
|
And maybe it's the end
|
I always thought the end of man would be
|
Exactly what we need for the earth to stand a chance
|
And I always thought that I'd be fine
|
If this happened in my lifetime
|
Now that I'm a mother, it is really terrifying
|
|
I've always identified with the turtles' soft insides
|
Because there are times when I really need to hide
|
But even the strongest, toughest, thickest shell is not designed
|
To survive
|
To survive
|
To survive
|
Something of this magnitude
|
|
Because water is fluid and oil is crude
|
And it billows way down deep
|
And it sticks to grains of sand
|
And it floats up on the surface where the birds all try to land
|
And it's ruining the marshes, ecosystems are destroyed
|
And the people all along the gulf coast are now unemployed
|
While the men who cut the corners still scream
|
"drill, drill, drill"
|
From their yachts far away and their mansions on the hill
|
And they turn away the cameras and scream
|
"kill, kill, kill"
|
As they burn endangered sea turtles alive
|
|
They're burning turtles alive
|
|
And the seas are all connected
|
And we are all connected
|
And you're living in denial if you think you won't be affected
|
You can't hide behind your flag
|
Because water knows no border
|
It'll creep in every crevice, it'll seep in every pore
|
They lie about the damage, the solutions are illusions
|
There's no cover-up big enough to hide this huge a contusion
|
On the face of our mother
|
Yeah, that's right, mother earth
|
Is the cost of every living thing what your product is worth?
|
We are all afflicted with an underground addiction
|
Will our desire for convenience be the cause of our extinction?
|
|
The industry's the master and we are all the slaves
|
And we're driving, driving, driving to our graves, graves, graves
|
The industry's the master and we are all the slaves
|
And we're driving, driving, driving to our graves, graves, graves, graves, graves, graves, graves, graves, graves
|
|
So we must teach our kids to love themselves
|
And let them live their lives
|
What will they be if they grow up?
|
Whatever they like
|
It's crucial to raise children who won't do what they're told
|
Who will fight for what's right and who can't be bought or sold
|
|
I want nothing of this business, I'm staying underground
|
I'm gonna ride the railroad and let my guard down
|
We can forage and ride bikes, jump in lakes, go on hikes
|
We can sing and sing for hours and click 'like' 'like' 'like'
|
When somebody posts something good we share and spread the truth
|
It's time to define what success means to you
|
I hope my kid will never be another cog in their machine
|
Trapped inside a box trying to remember her dreams
|
They'll sell us all out for their greed, greed, greed
|
As we cry for the earth while she bleeds, bleeds, bleeds, bleeds, bleeds, bleeds, bleeds, bleeds, bleeds
|
|
So hold onto to your loved ones, hold on for dear life
|
Try to walk like thunder leaving footprints that are light
|
Hold onto to your loved ones, hold on for dear life
|
Try to walk like thunder leaving footprints that are light
|
Hold onto to your loved ones, hold on for dear life
|
Try to walk like thunder leaving footprints that are light
|
Hold onto to your loved ones, hold on for dear life
|
And try to walk like thunder leaving footprints that are light
