Change Is Coming
After years of reckless living, for a century or more
With a few who lived the good life, being paid for by the poor
Now they're fiddling while the forest burns
Soaring through the poisoned skies
Surfing in the plastic seas
We're adding our voices to the rising chorus of concern
Striking chords of alarm
The drums of discontent keep banging on and on
It's still the same old story, a resources grab and go
A fight for territory, to maintain the status quo
Now they say that change is coming, while we're basking in the sun
And the temperature is rising, so there's not much getting done
Yes, they say that change is coming, while we look the other way
The rest of life is hurting, in a world in disarray
Keep checking the vital signs, of the sea and land and air
But all you need is eyes, 'cause it's happening everywhere
Well the animals could be marched into the creationist's mobile zoo
As if this could protect them all
As if this could prevent the fall
Of man from his position as custodian of Earth
Will our watch be remembered for anything of worth?
As we look to new horizons, new worlds to colonize
Will we learn the lessons or dismiss it all as lies?
Now they say that change is coming and it's not some fantasy
'Cause the evidence is mounting and it's there for all to see
Yes, they say that change is coming and it's not conspiracy
No, it's not just "snake oil science" but a new harsh reality
They say that change is coming, while we're basking in the sun
And the temperature is rising, so there's not much getting done
Yes, they say that change is coming, while we look the other way
The rest of our life is hurting, in a world in disarray
Yes, they say that change is coming
Yes, they say that change is coming
With a few who lived the good life, being paid for by the poor
Now they're fiddling while the forest burns
Soaring through the poisoned skies
Surfing in the plastic seas
We're adding our voices to the rising chorus of concern
Striking chords of alarm
The drums of discontent keep banging on and on
It's still the same old story, a resources grab and go
A fight for territory, to maintain the status quo
Now they say that change is coming, while we're basking in the sun
And the temperature is rising, so there's not much getting done
Yes, they say that change is coming, while we look the other way
The rest of life is hurting, in a world in disarray
Keep checking the vital signs, of the sea and land and air
But all you need is eyes, 'cause it's happening everywhere
Well the animals could be marched into the creationist's mobile zoo
As if this could protect them all
As if this could prevent the fall
Of man from his position as custodian of Earth
Will our watch be remembered for anything of worth?
As we look to new horizons, new worlds to colonize
Will we learn the lessons or dismiss it all as lies?
Now they say that change is coming and it's not some fantasy
'Cause the evidence is mounting and it's there for all to see
Yes, they say that change is coming and it's not conspiracy
No, it's not just "snake oil science" but a new harsh reality
They say that change is coming, while we're basking in the sun
And the temperature is rising, so there's not much getting done
Yes, they say that change is coming, while we look the other way
The rest of our life is hurting, in a world in disarray
Yes, they say that change is coming
Yes, they say that change is coming
