lyrics

I've been sitting and thinking and watching and hoping
But now I've really seen enough
You've been sinking in to concrete quicksand
How could you still be oblivious?

Hold out your hands and close your eyes
I'd like to give you something, will you guard it with your life?

No no no no, this is not a game
We treat the earth like one another, this is such a shame
With no apology we've been breaking nature's rules
It's a vicious cycle, this is cruel and unusual

I noticed that your front yard looks really, really nice
How many chemicals did you have to use to make your little paradise?
This is really quite an impressive legacy that you're leaving behind
But can you look into a child's eyes and say it's gonna be all right

And will you say
Hold out your hands and close your eyes
I'd like to give you something, will you guard it with your life?

No no no no, this is not a game
We treat the earth like one another, this is such a shame
With no apology we've been breaking nature's rules
It's a vicious cycle, this is cruel and unusual

I'm not gonna settle for apathy
I'm not gonna wait around for calamity
I'm not gonna be a part of the insanity
I said I'm gonna stand up, stand up for humanity

No no no no, this is not a game
We treat the earth like one another, this is such a shame
With no apology we've been breaking nature's rules
It's a vicious cycle, this is cruel and unusual
