A thousand years older and none the wiser
And there's no change on the horizon
If we don't change this pace then we are screwed
This experiment was once noble
But a republic behooves its people
To care to understand the things they do
And you
You can't face this – no
You can't face this
So this is a call
To shovel all this mud and hate out from our home
And you oughtta know
Seems like you have the same things inside your bones
Your bones
A million tons left to decompose
The cost of which you do not know
Or care as long as your coffee is hot
Self-evident is this problem
Some things must take care to solve them
But modern man would rather let them rot
But you
You can't face this – no
You can't face this
So this is a call
So bring the pain, bring the storms
All the lies that keep you warm
There's no thunder in your veins
And you've got lightning on the brain
Go ahead, equivocate
Change the grounds of the debate
Faulty logic must mutate
So use emotion to conflate
So bring the pain, bring the storms
All the lies that keep you warm
There's no thunder in your veins
And you've got lightning on the brain
So this is a call
To shovel all this mud and hate out from our home
And you oughtta know
Seems like you have the same things inside your bones
Your bones
