In the overcrowded cities

Where the nights are bright as day

You spend your weekly paycheck

And turn your eyes away

From the crisis we've created

With our self-indulgent ways

Living like there's no tomorrow

Well that just might be the case.



Now they're tearing down the forests

In the jungles of Brazil

Without a second thought about

The species that they kill

But extinction is forever

And still the forests fall

And push it ever closer to

Extinction for us all.



Chorus

But you're so blind to the truth

Blind to the truth

And you can't see nothin'

You're so blind to the truth

Blind to the truth

But the judgement day is coming.



Now the politicians bicker

On the early evening news

Pledging their allegiance

To whoever they can use

And the corporate bosses snicker

As they watch the profits soar

They don't care what they make next month

Just as long as it is more.



The take our farms and marshlands

Drive nature to the wall

Just so they can build another

Goddamn shopping mall

And it doesn't seem to matter

If we cannot see the stars

Just as long as they can keep

On building obsolescent cars

'Cause they're so...



(Repeat chorus)



Now you cannot drink the water

And you cannot breathe the air

The sky is ripping open and you

Still don't seem to care

The soil is tired and toxic

And unable to provide

The clock is running out and

There is nowhere left to hid.



Now there's laws that we must live by

And they're not the laws of man

Can't you see the shadow

That moves across this land

The future is upon us

And there's so much we must do

And you know I can't ignore it

And, my friend, neither can you

Unless you're...



(Repeat chorus)
