Inheritance |
| A new day dawns and it still ain’t rained |
| And some say the planet earth still ain’t changed |
| I wonder what they make of the extended summers |
| And storms that don’t stop 'til the whole town’s under |
| Seems we all just do what we feel like |
| Do whatever feels good — not what feels right |
| Not sure why but we’ve sacrificed foresight |
| Blinded by the lights of these television screens |
| I want to hear the television scream |
| Instead of reading us the small print of big business deals |
| Imagine how your kids would feel growing up |
| Skin burning up each day, heat wave never slowing up and sure enough |
| The powers that be create argument |
| But that’s a childs game, we both know who started this |
| You once made a promise, I hope you can remember it |
| COs we’ve got no choice but to accept this inheritance |
| Look what we inherited |
| This is what we inherited |
| How can we say thank you |
| If you won’t let us open our mouth? |
| Look what we inherited |
| This is what we inherited |
| How can we say thank you |
| If you won’t let us open our mouth? |
| Can’t you understand how the modern man was made insane? |
| When his plans for the future feel made in vain? |
| When anyone who makes a stand gets chopped at the knees? |
| Unarmed protesters shot by police |
| Then reports switch name-tags — we’re the enemies |
| It’s a «bad education» when you can’t afford the fees |
| The pieces of this pie could feed forty thieves |
| If you’ve never smelt the greed you’re a little naïve |
| And a little like me, back when I was 18 |
| Before I saw blood spilt for an Australian dream |
| It was your blood, my blood |
| OhLord wise up, rise up and see how they’re blundering your kingdom |
| But second coming never came it’s a shame that if God don’t exist then that |
| Makes you insane |
| He’ll discipline his children with the force of the elements |
| And we’ve got no choice but to accept his inheritance |
| Look what we inherited |
| This is what we inherited |
| How can we say thank you |
| If you won’t let us open our mouth? |
| Look what we inherited |
| This is what we inherited |
| How can we say thank you |
| If you won’t let us open our mouth? |
| We all in this together, so keep digging your grave so we can fall in |
| Together |
| Climbing out would give in to pressure |
| Have you ever had the guts to admit we don’t live forever? |
| No cure for denial, praise for false idols |
| Easy to get dizzy on a downward spiral |
| Still blockout, can’t blockout the burning truth |
| The sins of the father revisit the youth |
| It’s a black and white issue now that green turned brown |
| Red faced when I think about how we turned out |
| Owed the world everything, we dying in debt |
| Life’s a mirror that reflects what’s under the flesh |
| And there isn’t an alternative to breath |
| Believe this alternative energy is our alternative to death |
| But I’m a sinner too, sense regret in my sentiment |
| All I wanna do is thank you for this inheritance |
| Look what we inherited |
| This is what we inherited |
| How can we say thank you |
| If you won’t let us open our mouth? |
| Look what we inherited |
| This is what we inherited |
| How can we say thank you |
| If you won’t let us open our mouth? |
