Wish I had known that life lets you down Wish I had known that everyone drowns In a sewer just a puddle of swill and spit And I can't breathe (I can't breathe) Cause it all smells like bullshit
We came into this world pure and shining And now we drag through the mud Bitching and whining As machines carry us to other machines To churn the chemicals that kill everything That was once serene
It falls on our heads like the axe Like the mortars Like a righteous intervention
It falls on our heads Like the rain Like the pain We're the victims of ill intention
Denial and consumption Poisoned by our own production
Tell me who do we blame When the first turn up dead And the children are born with disfigured heads When the ground won't produce And the leaves don't grow back As the fires burn forever In the lines of smoke stacks Let the lights burn out Squander the resources further The droughts Pretend they'll be a solution as we drown in the swill and pollution
Life is a cycle of sin and sorrow All we know are the crimes we commit Life is a cycle of sin and sorrow We made our bed And now we'll lie in it We made our bed And now we'll lie in it
Are we so diluted in this septic tank That we turn to plague and poison Like a temporary saviour No whispers of healing No help no warning It falls on our heads
Like the axe Like the mortars Like a righteous intervention
It falls on our heads Like the rain Like the pain We're the victims of ill intention
It falls on our heads The world is dead Swing the axe, it falls on our heads Swing the axe, it falls on our heads The world is fucking dead
