Brand new song by Kimya Dawson normal tune, no capo... Em G I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I read blogs by scientists D C And I believe they know, more than we are being told By the mainstream media sources who want the truth to hold it's horses so there isn't mass hysteria as the sea floor erodes And those in and on the ocean all say hey what's this commotion and they try to get away but they are moving in slow motion because their bodies are so heavy from a substance thick and deadly they say I don't want to die It's all your fault I wasn't ready I'm so sorry and I'm scared and sad and mad and unprepared to see the stuff that's in the sea evaporate into the air where it will gather and form clouds that travel north upon the wind and drop their cool refreshing poison raindrops on our crops and children on our crops and children. So this may be the end I've always thought the end of man would be exactly what we need for the earth to stand a chance And I always thought I would be fine If this happened if my lifetime But now that I'm a mother it seems much more terrifying And I've always identified with a turtle's soft insides Because there are times when I really need to hide But even the strongest, hardest, thickest shell is not designed to survive, to survive, to survive Something of this magnitude Because water is fluid and oil is crude And it billows way down deep and it sticks to grains of sand And it floats upon the surface where the birds all try to land And the marshes are all ruined and ecosystems destroyed And the people all along the Gulf Coast are now unemployed While the men who cut the corners still scream DRILL, DRILL, DRILL from their yachts so far away and their mansions on the hill And they turn away the cameras and scream KILL, KILL, KILL As they light endangered sea turtles on fire They light turtles on fire (I'm on fire) Because the seas are all connected, And we are all connected And you are in denial if you think you won't be affected You can't hide behind your flag because water knows no border It will creep in every crack and seep in every pore They lie about the numbers the solutions are illusions But no cover up can hide this huge of a contusion On the face of our mother, that's right, mother earth Is the cost of every living thing what your product is worth? Well, we are all afflicted with an underground addiction will our desire for convenience be the cause of our extinction? And the industry's the master and we are all the slaves And we're DRIVING, DRIVING, DRIVING to our GRAVES, GRAVES, GRAVES We must teach our kids to love themselves and let them live their lives What will they be if they grow up? Whatever they like. It's crucial to raise children who don't do what they're told Who will fight for what's right and who can't be bought or sold I want nothing of this business I am staying underground And I'm gonna ride the railroad and let my guard down We can forage, and ride bikes, and jump in lakes, and go on hikes We can sing and sing for hours and click LIKE, LIKE, LIKE When somebody posts something good we share and spread the truth It's time to define what success means to you I hope my kid will never be another cog in their machine Trapped inside a box trying to remember her dreams They will sell us all out for their GREED, GREED, GREED As we cry for the earth as she BLEEDS, BLEEDS, BLEEDS So hold on to your loved ones, yeah, hold on for dear life Try to walk like thunder leaving footprints that are light Hold on to your loved ones, hold on for dear life Try to walk like thunder leaving footprints that are light Footprints that are light. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I read blogs by scientists And I believe they know, more than we are being told By the mainstream media sources who want the truth to hold it's horses so there isn't mass hysteria as the sea floor erodes And those in and on the ocean all say hey what's this commotion and they try to get away but they are moving in slow motion because their bodies are so heavy from a substance thick and deadly they say I don't want to die It's all your fault I wasn't ready
