lyrics

Time takes care of itself and no one else
No tarot cards or spells
Bring tides on tideless sand or cleanse the sea or breathe the earth
Or give us washed-out land
But we'll demand it

You remain
Taste the fruit of smoke, breathe next summer's flame
It had to be a joke for them to play their game
Carbon's cool
Here's what's in store for you

We told you so
And now you know
We can't save anything anymore

Never asked these questions
But we demand these answers now
Fires, floods & hurricanes for everybody else
We'll live in the now

I remain
Too much smoke to breathe
Can't turn down the heat
Bathe in plastic shreds
Not quite as good as dead
Carbon's cool
It's what's in store for you

Burning down the trees, blowing back the leaves
The water's always hot, the presents always bought
The blood is on your hands, it don't matter, got the land
Build another Earth, it's in your net worth
Rich man, poor man, drink from the oil can
Faster, faster, if you do it fast you can
Stay richer richer than this little brown man now take a stand
Time to take your burning kingdom with your grubby hands

Trying just to breathe and I can't turn down the heat...
