the whales will be gone
the ozone depleted
the world is moving on
technology will not save us
from ourselves

the man says all's well
in the Arctic
forget the red hot evidence
and get thee to work

the blood will spill tonight
the mercy nonexistent
without any justice in sight
paranoia will not save us
from ourselves

the man says all's well
in the World
pray to God
pray
pray

hoping that it will somehow magically
make it all okay

we will strangle our women
with our morality
how can we say
we truly loved them
anyway

we will decide
we will hide
in a cheap old disguise
I don't have a curse
strong enough to say

I want to believe in peace again
I want to believe in mercy again
I want to believe in truth again

the rose will be protected
deep in a thorny ravine
organic reality, blissful trail
difficult to see

skinny dog wail
hoo ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

don't you find the rose
so pretty
how it blooms how it blooms
how it carooms how it sends you?

don't we all send our thoughts
hopes prayers wishes questions
up to the same sky?

the blood will spill tonight
the mercy nonexistent
without any clarity in sight
deception will not save us
from ourselves

the whales will be gone
the ozone depleted
the global climate will change
the world is moving on
technology will not save us
from ourselves

the man says all's well
