Keep It In The Ground
We got to keep it in the ground
We got to keep it in the ground
We dug enough to go around
Enough to make us drown
Just take a look around
We got to leave it where it lies
We got to leave it where it lies
Instead of digging in the dirt
For a momentary hit
And then filling up the skies
We got to turn this ship around
We got to turn our ship around
'Cause the writing's on the wall
We're about to take a fall
And this ship is going down
What do I know?
I know tomorrow
I wanna stick around
I wanna keep it in the ground
A couple hundred million years
To strike the balance we got here
Takes us a couple hundred more
To burn through all the stores
And watch the balance disappear
It's worth way more underground
Now it's worth way more underground
It's not hard to understand
We are living off the land
To this balance we are bound
What can I say?
Want us to be OK
Want us to stick around
I wanna leave it like I found it
I lay my shovel down
I wanna keep it in the ground
We're living way beyond our means
We've got to live within our means
Spending everything at once
There's a reckoning that comes with irresponsibility
We got it better than we know
We've had it better than we know
But we been running amok
Like we don't give a care
We got to show some self-control
What do I know?
I know tomorrow
Want us to stick around
I wanna leave it, like I found it
I lay my shovel down
And keep it in the ground
I wanna keep it in the ground
I wanna keep it in the ground
Come on and keep it in the ground
We got to keep it in the ground
We dug enough to go around
Enough to make us drown
Just take a look around
We got to leave it where it lies
We got to leave it where it lies
Instead of digging in the dirt
For a momentary hit
And then filling up the skies
We got to turn this ship around
We got to turn our ship around
'Cause the writing's on the wall
We're about to take a fall
And this ship is going down
What do I know?
I know tomorrow
I wanna stick around
I wanna keep it in the ground
A couple hundred million years
To strike the balance we got here
Takes us a couple hundred more
To burn through all the stores
And watch the balance disappear
It's worth way more underground
Now it's worth way more underground
It's not hard to understand
We are living off the land
To this balance we are bound
What can I say?
Want us to be OK
Want us to stick around
I wanna leave it like I found it
I lay my shovel down
I wanna keep it in the ground
We're living way beyond our means
We've got to live within our means
Spending everything at once
There's a reckoning that comes with irresponsibility
We got it better than we know
We've had it better than we know
But we been running amok
Like we don't give a care
We got to show some self-control
What do I know?
I know tomorrow
Want us to stick around
I wanna leave it, like I found it
I lay my shovel down
And keep it in the ground
I wanna keep it in the ground
I wanna keep it in the ground
Come on and keep it in the ground
