Society Submerged Lyrics


Sitting here beside myself

Now knowing what we've done

We're building cities underground

No mercy from the sun

Victims of our legacy

Doomed our planet dies

Our fathers wouldn't listen

Pumped their death into the skies

Why?

Why?

How could they be so arrogant?

How could they be so blind?

Fifty years of global warming

Wouldn't see the signs

Nature tried to tell them

That she couldn't heal her wounds

Now it's too late

Was it really worth the power

Was it really worth the cash

No one feared atomic bombs

They feared our fucking trash

Waiting for tomorrow

But tomorrow never comes

Who's won

You'd better run

Or perish in the sun

Crimes against the earth

Society submerged

We got them where we want them

The corporate leaders die

Sentenced to the surface

Blistered skin beneath the sky

This is your tomorrow, created only by yourselves

Guilty as charged

Starting over underground

I hope it can be done

If we make the same mistake

There'll be no place to run

We're looking at tomorrow

We're the children of the dark

Guilty as charged

Children of the dark

Crimes against the earth

Society submerged

(Repeat/first verse)

(Solo/Paul)
