In the overcrowded cities where the nights are bright as day
|
You spend your weekly paycheck and turn your eyes away
|
From the crisis we've created with our self-indulgent ways
|
Living like there's no tomorrow, well that just might be the case
|
Now they're tearing down the forests and the jungles of Brazil
|
Without a second thought about the species that they kill
|
But extinction is forever and still the forests fall
|
And push it ever closer to extinction for us all
|
But you're so...
|
Blind to the truth, blind to the truth
|
And you can't see nothin'
|
'Cause you're so blind to the truth, blind to the truth
|
And the judgment day is coming
|
Now the politicians bicker on the early evening news
|
Pledging their allegiance to whoever they can use
|
The corporate bosses snicker as they watch the profits soar
|
They don't care what they make next month just as long as it is more
|
They take our farms and marshlands, drive nature to the wall
|
Just so they can build another Goddamn shopping mall
|
And it doesn't seem to matter if they cannot see the stars
|
As long as they can keep on building obsolescent cars
|
They're so...
|
Blind to the truth, blind to the truth
|
No they can't see nothin'
|
They're so blind to the truth, blind to the truth
|
But the judgment day is coming
|
Now you cannot drink the water and you cannot breathe the air
|
The sky is ripping open and you still don't seem to care
|
The soil is tired and toxic and unable to provide
|
The clock is running out and there is nowhere left to hide
|
Now there's laws that we must live by and they're not the laws of man
|
Can't you see the shadow that moves across this land
|
The future is upon us and there's so much we must do
|
And you know I can't ignore it and my friend neither can you
|
Unless you're...
|
Blind to the truth, blind to the truth
|
And you can't see nothin'
|
You're so blind to the truth, blind to the truth
|
But the judgment day is coming
|
