|
I live on an angry planet, amidst the crowds and the endless noise |
|
In the debris of the broken families and the cracks in the grand designs |
|
And all the angry gods are back, gathering strength as the continents collide |
|
Some live by the bloody sword and die by the bloody sword, some by beauty and desire |
|
I live in the shadow of the great volcano, I live by the good soil and the fire |
|
And of course I know that the days are numbered but we will go down to the wire |
|
And the pressure moves the mountains, seven billion and counting |
|
As the monkey tribes advance across the bleak terrain |
|
All sown with seed of mono-culture, wind and rain and revolution coming, |
|
But we know it isn't personal - we just live on an angry planet |
|
They say that we're all kings and queens in the new world except for those who aren't |
|
They say we can follow our dreams to the very top of the tree except for those who can't |
|
They say that the meek shall inherit the earth except that they shan't |
|
And the pressure moves the mountains, seven billion and counting |
|
As the monkey tribes advance, all in a rush of blood, the jet stream blowing |
|
High above the zombie hordes all banging war drums, raising flags |
|
As the pressure moves the mountains, seven billion now and counting |
|
As the monkey tribes advance across the ruined land |
|
All sown with seed of mono-culture, war and rain and revolution coming |
|
But I know it isn't personal - I just live on an angry planet |
