[Travis T]
Stop the presses and strike up the band
Cause I came to send a message with the mic in my hand
People fighting over resources, dying for land
And we just let the evil empires try and expand
We can bury our heads or draw a line in the sand,
Against the ones ready strike and lay you right where you stand
Live a firestarter, die a martyr, sayonara
Ain't no time for waiting on a knight in shining armor
The planet's gotten rotten at the surface and the core
And the people walk around without a purpose anymore
The tip of the melting iceberg, it's just getting warm
We'll need one hell of an umbrella to weather the sh** storm
You gotta ask yourself what your gonna do
When we see world war three and civil war two
And quite frankly I don't know about you
But when sh** hits the fan I won't be trying to stay cool
[Hook]
Said one, two, one, two
Said I don't know what to do
So many problems to solve
No time for getting involved
My only hope is there's a future for kids
Forced to grow up on a planet where it's hostile to live
[Courage]
Earth Mother, god we failed in so many ways
Look to the skies, they're polluted and gray
Clear-cut forests bald-headed, totally shaved
Topsoil erodes and all the animals fade
How we make it to this horrible phase?
Corporatocracy clench the whole world, sell their soul for what pays
We're a virus like the bird flu and AIDS
Educated with good grades, still we don't know how to behave
There was a time when fresh water was still drinkable
Now that be unthinkable, Pepsi bottle it and sell it to you
There's nothing in the world like sitting under a tree
But carnage be the only thing that I see, and tree stumps
Cause we dumps pollution into oceans and streams
Transforming them to toxic it seems
There's no regard for other living beings, just the diamonds and bling
Infatuation with material things
[Smoke]
The world going down in kerosene dreams
Conflict diamond in the rough, sipping poison out of streams
It's progress, baby, I mean deformed babies
Monsanto thanks thee for consuming the virus.
Now let's contaminate the dirt, extrapolate the worth
Laminate the hurt, dominate and intoxicate the Earth
Word to wasteland, industrial taste, waste bland
Pa** the petrol chemicals so I can build castles out of radiated sand
Bathe in blood bank, bailout, fractional-reserve system, sell out
Genetically modified monster made out of carcinogens and fallout
Now fill out these forms
Big Brother is watching you getting high off the toxins
Of course, better open your eyes before you wake up
And hear the sound of troops boots marching
