lyrics

(chorus)
world is crumbling down
gonna fill all your rooms and empty spaces
leave all you knew foreign and traceless
all your favorite places transformed and faceless
world is crumbling down
as an untold and unaccountable disaster
six billion and rising, is it really so surprising
we’ve reached the end of our ride

what do you want from me?
i’m not aquaman
i’m just a tadpole in the sea
trying to make a living
oh, and if you think things are gonna change
just take a look around

(chorus)
world is tumbling down
gonna fill all your rooms and empty spaces
leave all you knew foreign and traceless
all your favorite places transformed and faceless
world is crumbling down
as an untold and unaccountable disaster
six billion and rising, is it really so surprising
we’ve reached the end of our ride

if i were the mastermind
i’d say everyone should die
maybe just the politicians
the CEOs or the FBI
i’m not pessimistic
i do believe we’re going down
world war three and the robot armies
or the nuclear underground
i didn’t come to preach to you tonight
but take a look around

(chorus)
world is tumbling down
gonna fill all your rooms and empty spaces
leave all you knew foreign and traceless
all your favorite places transformed and faceless
world is crumbling down
as an untold and unaccountable disaster
six billion and rising, is it really so surprising
we’ve reached the end of our ride

ooh...

seas are rising
poles de-icing
political ties
to corporate giants
mountains afire
ocean disasters
oil spills
trash fills
factory fish kills
air pollution
too many landfills
rivers and streams
standing cesspools
eroding coastlands
swamplands wastelands
redwoods felled just to make a bookstand
how much shit do we need to own
do we need to try do we need to buy
where’s it gonna go
where did it come from
what’s the real cost of disposable income
that’s an oxymoron, contradiction
that’s the truth of the human condition
what the fuck is wrong with us
what the fuck is wrong with us
what the fuck is wrong with us
how will our children think of us
oh, industrialization’s a bust

all of the things we thought would bring
joy to our lives, it’s all been lies

all been lies
all been lies...

(repeat chorus x 2)
