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? |
