[Verse 1: Chris Webby]
How will the future generations see us?
We had a choice, knew the stakes
Saw the signs, had the science to teach us
But we chose money over all else
We saw it creeping up, but we never sought help
Now we got a climate crisis, we got shorter seasons
We got mass extinction, we got coral bleaching
We got glaciers melting, we got oil leaking
While the sizes of the beaches on our shores decreasing
We got heatwaves and droughts while the forest's burning
All in the name, but it's corporate earning
The poor get sicker, the rich get richer
The lifespan of the planet ticks down quicker
Killing mother nature on a quest to get the paper
Now almost everything is looking critically in danger
Well, except humans, but it's easy to tell
The end result of killing nature will be killing ourselves
Yeah, we paid paradise if the price is right for a new world
But got no wildlife in sight
What a place to grow up in, can't shoot for nothing
If you can't see the stars in the sky at night
I mean, we live in an artificial society
Disconnected from what's really happening entirely
The news don't talk about it, politicians keep it quietly
Under the rug for campaign fund robbery
And where we heading, yo, it really make me sick
But most don't even know, I guess ignorance is bliss
But that ignorance is why we got these problems that exist
If we rose up as a people and started to give a shit
We'd accomplish anything if we just made a decision
And started doing something instead of complaining and bitching
'Cause regardless of our views, of our race or religion
We all share the same place that we live in
Yeah
