lyrics

We’re building walls on a shaking foundation but we’re too busy to notice
And when we’re done here we will leave pretty houses for a world where no one can live
With happiness always just out of reach, we follow the trails that run into the ground
To become kings of ashes we will burn the whole world down

But once we could drink from the well

We’ve sprayed our fields till the weeds grew resistant, pulled dragnets through every ocean
Replaced our forests with deserts and landfills to ensure a steady growth
We've poisoned the waters and ruined the crops so what do we say our kids turn to us
And ask us to justify all this mess - they will reap what we saw

Once we could drink from the well

The sky will open up and flush out all the filth
To settle the score
Soon our bloated remains, stuffed with plastic bits
will wash upon the shore

And form a new foundation in all colors and shapes
For future generations
To build their shaking lives and be reminded of us

Once we could drink from the well

“A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.”
Greek proverb
