Lyrics
Counting Down [Untill We're Through]
[2021/06/28]
[Verse]
Was it the capturing of fire or migrating to the coast?
Hooking up with other tribes or a combination of both?
Somewhere along the way, we became what we are now
and took what this planet offered as a sacrificial cow.
[Verse repeats]
Was it gathering in villages when we changed the way we lived?
Went from hunter-gatherers and evolved to this?
Were we always bent to destruction from envy, lust and greed?
Meaning this is human nature and has always been?
[Chorus]
Open up your fucking eyes, get your head out of your ass.
This whole world has gone to shit because we can't keep off the grass.
Jesus Christ! Wake the fuck up there's shit all you can do.
Open up your fucking eyes. I'm counting down until we're through.
[Verse repeats]
There are those out there who claim to see the forest for the trees
and those who see the same thing but ask, What's in it for me?
Some see the good in us. That's good, I agree.
But we're still in the shit hole, look around and see.
[Chorus repeats]
Open up your fucking eyes, get your head out of your ass.
This whole world has gone to shit because we can't keep off the grass.
Jesus Christ! Wake the fuck up there's shit all you can do.
Open up your fucking eyes. I'm counting down until we're through.
[Bridge]
I don't want to burst your bubbles, you tree-hugging, stupid fools.
But gathering in a public park to speak out against those tools
is an endless waste of your time because those with the power.
Sit up high, looking down on you from their ivory towers,
They can fall but
[Chorus]
Open up your fucking eyes, get your head out of your ass.
This whole world has gone to shit because we can't keep off the grass.is
Jesus Christ! Wake the fuck up there's shit all you can do.
Open up your fucking eyes, start counting down until we're through.
[Outro Fade]
Open up your fucking eyes, get your head out of your ass.
This whole world has gone to shit because we can't keep off the grass.
Jesus Christ! Wake the fuck up there's shit all you can do.
Open up your fucking eyes, start counting down until we're through.
