Love bird, you flew into my window
Now
in the sticky love nest sits a widow
The tree it fell on all the people
Who
gathered there to watch it topple
[Am-E-Am-E]
Now turn around, it’s burning down
The
city we live in
Should we mobilize?
Take them by surprise?
Let them have their
way with us?
Wounds be by old enemies
Broke my heart to see
Foundations ripped apart
And investments fade away
I guess we got off to a
bad start
No
oxygen
What is the
outcome?
Hungry
humans
We’ve got to
enslave them
We’ll burn those
bridges
When we
come to them
I’m not just their
leader
I’m also
one of them
The
food supply has been depleted
The
river’s run dry just when it was needed
The
rats come out to take it over
Singing, squeaking, “We built this city”
It’s hard to breathe
But we couldn’t leave
Nowhere left to go
Almost everybody died
Drank the tears from those who cried
We
shriveled from the
sodium
And a
map was found with an X on it
So
we followed it there
And
what did we find
An underground design
As we
entered in to
our surprise
Oxygen
Rivers and
playgrounds
The ancients just
stayed down
They never stopped
moving
We stumbled
towards them
But they locked all the
barn doors
So we had to dig
deeper
We had to dig
deeper
And the
deep was dark
I wanted to sleep
forever
Wake up later, maybe never
We
had to build a civilization
Let the
planet focus on the planet’s rotation
We tried, we tried
We really tried
But no one could do it
Not really alive
Never learned how to survive
We were
humans being
useless
No
oxygen
What is the
outcome?
Hungry
humans
We’ve got to
enslave them
We’ll burn those
bridges
When we
come to them
I’m not just their
leader
I’m also
one of them
We
fade into
oblivion
No traces of
civilized
living eating the
earth
We’re fading to oblivion
No traces of
civilized
living
eaten by
earth
