How did you ever think it wasn't bound to happen?
We poisoned the waterfalls (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
Set fires to our rivers of hope
The end of us all, well, it was always bound to happen, to happen

Come on, kids, it's time to vote
Boris Johnson's sniffing coke
All the children are depressed
Not the future we had hoped
Little girls unsafe at home
She's scrolling up and down her phone
She hates her life, she hates herself
And she's twelve years old
These social apps are now our gods
Since dopamine from likes and shares
Then we find peace from drugs and sex
And prescription anxiety meds
Sweep the truth under the rug
Feed us plastic GMO crops
We don't need self-motivation
Robots will take all our jobs
How did we ever think?
How did we ever think it wasn't bound to happen?
We poisoned the waterfalls and set fires to our rivers of hope
We're all gonna die, what do we do before it happens, it happens?
You turn a blind eye when the drunk man falls
Did you ever think why is the drunk man drunk?
The system failed, two kids in jail
And the rich get rich, and the rest get sunk
Classist, sexist, racist, ableist
Fascists, ageist, homophobic
Country leaders fucked our futures
And they think we haven't noticed
Forests burning, oil spills
Melting ice and methane gas
Toxic waste and plastic fish
We're digging holes to hide our trash
Unity reeks in all our songs
But we drew borders across our lands
A thousand years we've been at war
When the planet is dead, we will all hold hands
How did we ever think?
How did we ever think it wasn't bound to happen?
We poisoned the waterfalls and set fires to our rivers of hope
We're all gonna die, what do we do before it happens?
It happens
Attention, citizens
Please, evacuate the country in orderly fashion
And leave behind any personal belongings
Uhm, that you don't need
