Lyrics:

We take

We take

We take

We take

And we barely give anything back

We’ve bent the rules

We’re getting the bigger profit

We bring death everywhere we go

We scam the ones who help us

We turn our backs on everyone else, and then ourselves

We destroy our friends

We take it all for granted

Everyone’s fed up

But no one has a solution

Can you smell the fumes in the air?

Can you hear the gunshots and cries?

Calm down, take deep breaths

But the air makes you choke

Choke on the thought of ourselves

Some of our mistakes are coming back to haunt us now

A possible extinction

And we leave it to the next generation

We haven’t even all stood together

For around 10,000 years!

If you looked at our home today

You’d see darkness and pollution

The before and after doesn’t look that good

When it comes to our intervention

10,000,000 factories

Strewn across our home

Each one playing a vital role

In destroying what we were given

The foul, filthy, frightful, freaky, ferocious gears turning

Pistons permanently pushing pulling pressing down

Rusty ancient ugly mechanisms operating fueled by our tyranny

The ocean can’t escape us either

One person’s trash isn’t always another’s treasure

8,000,000 pieces of plastic on a daily basis

Killing over 1,000,000 creatures over year

The numbers are stacking up against us

Just look at them

10% of the ocean is plastic now

269,000 tons of plastic per square mile in the ocean

1,000,000 species endangered because of us

43,000,000,000 tons of CO2 every year

A whale’s diet now includes plastic

We put it on their menus

The earth is eating our greenhouse gases

We’ve changed another menu

Choking in the fumes

You are blinded

You can only smell the fumes

Guide yourself with hearing

Away from the sounds of avid poachers

And then you run into something

You finally try opening your eyes

And you see darkness

Look at us and you’d see that were just

Selfish and mean little people

The factories polluting

The hunters killing

The builders destroying

The criminals stealing

All over our home

Everyday

And we don’t even stop to think about everything else

Imagine if all our mistakes came back to haunt us

We already started digging our grave

And we’re almost done

But that’s just a few mistakes out of the millions we’ve made

We really do bring death everywhere we go

It’s nearly too late

But still

We don’t care that much

We’re a little worried

But we have no solutions

We’ve only just started to pay for our mistakes

What have we done?

What have we done?

What have we done?

The light at the end of the tunnel is fading

It’s nearly gone out

If you are listening or reading this

Help the earth

Because that light isn’t gone yet

We can still reach out

Venture through the tunnel

No matter how hard it might be

But if you hesitate on your decision

Even for a moment

It could mean certain doom

We’ve been on earth for less than 1% of its time,

But we’ve caused over 99% of the problems.
