[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]
