Lyrics

Counting Down [Untill We're Through]
[2021/06/28]

[V]
Was it the capturing of fire or
migrating to the coast?
Maybe intermixing with other tribes or
a combination of both?
Somewhere along the way we
became what we are now.
Took what this planet offered,
as sacrificial cow. 

[V]
Was it gathering in villages where
we changed the way we lived.
Went from hunter gathers and
evolved to this?
Were we bent towards destruction
from envy, lust and greed?
Meaning this is hu-man's nature
and has always been? 

[C]
Open up your fucking eyes,
get your head out of the sand.
This whole world is going to shit
all because of us humans.
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.

[V]
There's those out there who claim to see
the forest for the trees.
Those who see the same thing asking,
What's in it for me?
There are those who see the good in us,
there is good I agree BUT
we're still in the shit hole
look around and see. 

[C]
Open up your fucking eyes,
get your head out of the sand.
This whole world is going to shit
all because of us hu-mans.
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.

[B]
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...

[C]
Open up your fucking eyes,
get your head out of the sand.
This whole world is going to shit
all because of us humans.
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.
