I sit here watch the world crumble day at a time
Wondering how we let it get this far
It's so easy to blame everyone else
But we all got to play our part
I'm sick and tired of hearing the same old swan song
Over and over again
We can see the signs but still we deny
One day it'll all come to an end
You can pretend that its all a lie
But it wont turn back the time
You can hide from whats right in front of your eyes
But soon it'll bee too late to cry
I watch a mother hold a child in her arms
So innocent and so unaware
I wonder what kind of world we leave behind
For our children to share
Build and destroy for the profit and the gain
Dig fort the riches burn down the trees
Soon there will be nothing left to save
There'll be no air to breathe
