lyrics

Everything is money
Everything is gold
Everything is ugly
Everything is cold
I still find you beautiful even though we're getting old
But it's not too late to change this place
Before it fades away
I know I can get nasty but flowers they'll still grow
Got a chip on my shoulder, I got no place to go
The truth is I'm small but the world is so big
I'm a shipping net
Tied around your neck
I promise this is not the end
Of the bottle, the mistakes we made
Is this song about me? Or the world's past mistakes?
It's the same
We are one
Soap boxes won't make you taller
Just wanna say we should save this place
We are one and the same
The poison is talking it's not from
The people we’re living with
It's from the world we’re living in
We’re dying
The forecast it calls for the peoples’
Death of common sense
Precipitation of ignorance
We’re breathing
Smoke from the fire, the mistakes we made
Is this song about me? Is your future at stake?
It's the same
We are one
We’re still young but we’re tired
Just wanna say we should save this place
We are one and the same
I told you we tried but
The earth knew we lied and
All that’s left were ashes and forgotten coffee grains
We’re drowning, the water
The floods they grew taller
But shit still stays the same
We’ll just pretend it goes away
Your folks knew, they lied to us
We should have known better
With all the people laughing
With their pockets full of change
The people are starving
And we’re just pretending
That shit just goes away
But it'll never be the same
I told you we tried but
The earth knew…
