lyrics

The guns are oiled up
There's fire by the sea
We're at a beginning of a big catastrophe
Sitting on their hands
Their heads in the sands
The price of a dollar is another thing, without these lands
Look at the wall, as we get rid of Winter and Fall
We're giving science participation prizes, and putting denialism on a pedestal
Am I right?

You surround yourself with sycophants and obsessive liars
You never really knew, nor did you even care
That thousand yard look, while you put children in cages
The American dream is dead, you killed it

We're smoking Hiroshima brand cigarettes
The governments don't deal in policy, only in threats
Greenland has melted, Australia is on fire
We're lighting up the match for our funeral pyre
The caribou are going the way of the buffalo
Except the guns today are loaded with greed
And held to our backs
Let's start the war machine, and prep for the attacks

Suffering in silence are the people we never meet
How were to know, we treat the world like an object
The sails on the ship are fluttering in the distance from the boat
We're burning the Earth's lungs, strangling her by the throat
Soon we'll be orphans
Karma will be back to bring on the pain
And will that diversify the economic gain?

CHORUS:
THE FIGHT FOR FREEDOM IS DONE
WHAT HAVE WE BECOME?
THE FUTURE IS NONE
