Oh baby
Sounds like the world has gone crazy
Underpaid and overpopulated
Burning from the inside out
And it's funny
Some people think that violence is the answer
Others profit from death and destruction
And we're backed in to a corner now
You're lying (lying)
I'm not buying whatever you're selling
That's why all of the people are rebelling
You can no longer turn the volume down
The ship is sinking (sinking)
And I can tell that from the way you're standing
I wish that I could tell you what the plan is
I wish I had it all worked out
You win some lose some, looks like we lost one (yeah)
The whole wide world heading for the dustbin (yeah)
Got a lot to say, we're easily offended (yeah)
Got a lot to give but we wouldn't recommend it (yeah)
Give a lot of take, we took a lot of chances (yeah)
Fingers in our ears while society collapses
Now (now)
Oh baby
Oh baby
I don't think we're ready for the changes
Or the inevitable train wreck
Everyone's predicting right now
In the future
All I see is chaos and disorder
Intertwined with natural disasters
And people looking for an easy way out
You win some lose some, looks like we lost one (yeah)
The whole wide world heading for the dustbin (yeah)
Got a lot to say, we're easily offended (yeah)
Got a lot to give but we wouldn't recommend it (yeah)
Give a lot of take, we took a lot of chances (yeah)
Fingers in our ears while society collapses
Now (now)
Oh baby
On the brink of extinction, in the age of anxiety
Everywhere you look is another catastrophe
Carbon emissions keep rising drastically
As do the oceans and the uses of energy
Deforestation, the endless calamity
Artificial intelligence, terrifying technology
Losing our grip on a decent democracy
Front row seats to the end of humanity
Addicted to plastic, staring at our phones
Destroying the planet that we call home
A home that gave us so much beauty
Oh baby
