lyrics

The dead and the living are one of the same thing
May only differ by naming
Both unforgiving while some lack a brain
Most of them killing the days away
Maybe it’s over
Maybe our time is up
Maybe mother nature has had enough of us

Do you think we’ve earned it?
I’d say that we deserve it
Leaving us a burden
Again

Maybe the boomers wrecked planet earth
Drained it for all that it once was worth
Now she is angry
She could have been bored
The dead and the living have been warned before

It’s a lie
You know that?
They’ll say it’s a lie
Don’t you know that?
(Just to get by)
Every day is so monotonous
(Just to get by)
No longer want to be apart of this charade
That we’ve got it made while we all look away

Fooled you
Kept you safe and schooled you
We might as well tattoo you
With all the things you once believed
Reluctancy to speak

The dead and the living may differ by name
Sometimes they’re one of the same thing
What if it’s over?
What if our time is up?
What if mother nature has had enough of us?
