The Greatest Setback Can Be Our Greatest Opportunity

Stuck
In a sea of illusion
Awaking
To my disillusion
The situation
Is in the red
Who knows
What lies ahead

Time is not yet up
But unless humankind
Learns to grow up
Everything will be as empty as a dry cup.
Destroyed by corporate greed
Funded by the fear machine

As we are at the cusp of a new dark age
Can we be saved?
Will our collective rage be remembered
As being enough to make change
Will we stand for something
Or will we let the culprits get away?

Corporate pollution is killing the earth
Corporate pollution is killing the earth
Corporate pollution is killing the earth
Corporate pollution is killing the earth

This period of
Lack of personal responsibility
Gives way
To an era of futility
When all is said and done
You can't use gold to buy air for your lungs.

Time is not yet up
But unless humankind
Learns to grow up
Everything will be as empty as a dry cup
Destroyed by corporate greed
Funded by the fear machine

As we are at the cusp of a new dark age
Can we be saved?
Will our collective rage be remembered
As being enough to make change
Will we stand for something
Or will we let the culprits get away?

This isn't progress, this is violence
This isn't progress, this is violence
This isn't progress, this is violence
This isn't progress, this is violence

Unless this is stopped
From extinction there will
Be nowhere to run
Like the dinosaurs
We'll be gone
You'll no longer need your money 'cause
We'll be gone

Time is not yet up
But unless humankind
Learns to grow up
Everything will be as empty as a dry cup
Destroyed by corporate greed
Funded by the fear machine

As we are at the cusp of a new dark age
Can we be saved?
Will our collective rage be remembered
As being enough to make change
Will we stand for something
Or will we let the culprits get away?

You have a choice, use your voice
You have a choice, use your voice
You have a choice, use your voice
You have a choice, use your voice

The breathless whispers
And writing on the wall
Can't be ignored
As world issues snowball
The breathless whispers
And writing on the wall
Can't be ignored
As world issues snowball

Time is not yet up
But unless humankind
Learns to grow up
Everything will be as empty as a dry cup
Destroyed by corporate greed
Funded by the fear machine

As we are at the cusp of a new dark age
Can we be saved?
Will our collective rage be remembered
As being enough to make change
Will we stand for something
Or will we let the culprits get away?

Those who are doing this have names and addresses
Those who are doing this have names and addresses
Those who are doing this have names and addresses
Those who are doing this have names and addresses

Write a letter or make a phone call
Speak out before this house of cards falls
Write a letter or make a phone call
Speak out before this house of cards falls

We can rise up and be the change we need
We can rise up and be the change we need
We can rise up and be the change we need
We can rise up and be the change we need
