False Profit - LONG WAY TO GO lyrics

[Hook] Oh, we’ve got a long way to go (oh oh) And there’s no going back to the live we lived, the life we used to know We got a long way to go, oh I’ve given everything, there’s nothing left, there’s nothing left to lose [Verse 1] We’ve come a long way from dark days of the past Invented electricity get the weather forecast Trains planes and cars so we can get around fast Inflicted by plagues now we got medicine for days From killing the gays to putting pride first page Printing press to internet the message gets out If you’re new to it youtube or google it We mapped the surface land and sea but it isn’t enough Got astrophysicists tryna to class what’s above Laws of space and time divine designs placed in our palms Water from a tap food in our lap all year long Got what we need you’d think we are the bomb That the birds and bees and people all get along Live a life in luxury give hugs and keep calm But for all our greatness our mistakes are commonplace Big obstacles cast dark shadows on our grace [Hook] Oh, we’ve got a long way to go (oh oh) And there’s no going back to the live we lived, the life we used to know We got a long way to go, oh I’ve given everything, there’s nothing left, there’s nothing left to lose [Verse2] I’m proud of all the progress but it’s selfish as sh*t Cuz everything in verse one is some first world sh*t Just harvesting resources til Earth’s forfeit Got a trash island and its enormous Need a mask to breathe in Asia so morbid Wars for oil how can you ignore this My blood is boiling i need a metamorphosis Students in college can’t afford the courses Pay back loans half of their lives while the bankers profit Just saw the price of one man room and i wanted the throw a fit 12 years of education vacate not knowing sh*t Teachers nurses and the working class get disrespect Speechless of course because they keep us hanging by a thread Oceans are polluted so is the land The presidents are dirty businessmen what you expect Not sure if long way to go or end of the road [Hook] Oh, we’ve got a long way to go (oh oh) And there’s no going back to the live we lived, the life we used to know We got a long way to go, oh I’ve given everything, there’s nothing left, there’s nothing left to lose [Outro] So whether in science or in God we trust We need to work it out or we’ll crumble to dust So much noise pollution that discussion is tough Hate and fear mongering I’m longing for trust The systems subdivisions make our rhythms disrupt How many George Floyd's died before we stood up Covid-19 showed a lot of true colors The planet needs to heal half of its in the gutter Jeffrey Epstein didn’t kill himself the world is run by pedophiles
