[al:The Wild Places] |
| [00:36.04] |
In the overcrowded cities where the nights are bright as day |
| [00:42.23] |
You spend your weekly paycheck and turn your eyes away |
| [00:47.90] |
From the crisis we've created with our self-indulgent ways |
| [00:53.72] |
Living like there's no tomorrow, well that just might be the case |
| [00:59.68] |
Now they're tearing down the forests and the jungles of Brazil |
| [01:05.77] |
Without a second thought about the species that they kill |
| [01:11.49] |
But extinction is forever and still the forests fall |
| [01:17.41] |
And push it ever closer to extinction for us all |
| [01:22.83] |
But you're so... |
| [01:24.16] |
Blind to the truth, blind to the truth |
| [01:29.41] |
And you can't see nothin' |
| [01:34.74] |
'Cause you're so blind to the truth, blind to the truth |
| [01:42.59] |
And the judgment day is coming |
| [01:47.22] |
Now the politicians bicker on the early evening news |
| [01:53.45] |
Pledging their allegiance to whoever they can use |
| [01:59.02] |
The corporate bosses snicker as they watch the profits soar |
| [02:05.19] |
They don't care what they make next month just as long as it is more |
| [02:11.13] |
They take our farms and marshlands, drive nature to the wall |
| [02:17.34] |
Just so they can build another Goddamn shopping mall |
| [02:23.01] |
And it doesn't seem to matter if they cannot see the stars |
| [02:28.68] |
As long as they can keep on building obsolescent cars |
| [02:34.33] |
They're so... |
| [02:35.31] |
Blind to the truth, blind to the truth |
| [02:42.67] |
No they can't see nothin' |
| [02:45.34] |
They're so blind to the truth, blind to the truth |
| [02:53.82] |
But the judgment day is coming |
| [03:22.60] |
Now you cannot drink the water and you cannot breathe the air |
| [03:28.30] |
The sky is ripping open and you still don't seem to care |
| [03:34.20] |
The soil is tired and toxic and unable to provide |
| [03:40.18] |
The clock is running out and there is nowhere left to hide |
| [03:45.96] |
Now there's laws that we must live by and they're not the laws of man |
| [03:52.18] |
Can't you see the shadow that moves across this land |
| [03:57.51] |
The future is upon us and there's so much we must do |
| [04:03.51] |
And you know I can't ignore it and my friend neither can you |
| [04:09.08] |
Unless you're... |
| [04:10.30] |
Blind to the truth, blind to the truth |
| [04:15.78] |
And you can't see nothin' |
| [04:21.34] |
You're so blind to the truth, blind to the truth |
| [04:28.86] |
But the judgment day is coming |
| [05:45.53] |
