Smokestack Snake
I lie awake
While the burning of the smokestack
Still snakes
Into our day
Cause we're using our only home
As an ashtray
So I lie awake
I lie awake
It's hard to read the future
But not so hard to find the liars
Filling their checkbooks
With toxic fire
Where have we gone
When the only thing we guard is guns
We have refuge
And the only thing killing
That is fumes
So I lie awake
I lie awake
It's hard to read the future
But not so hard to find the liars
Filling their checkbooks
With toxic fire
What if I said that I don't care
Well I'd be lying
Quite obviously
What if I said that I'm done breathing
Well I'd be dying
Quite literally
The sky will burn
With the fuel
From the ignorance we churn
How can we learn
When the facts
Of the matter are objurned
So I lie awake
I lie awake
It's hard to read the future
But not so hard to find the liars
Filling their checkbooks
With toxic fire
While the burning of the smokestack
Still snakes
Into our day
Cause we're using our only home
As an ashtray
So I lie awake
I lie awake
It's hard to read the future
But not so hard to find the liars
Filling their checkbooks
With toxic fire
Where have we gone
When the only thing we guard is guns
We have refuge
And the only thing killing
That is fumes
So I lie awake
I lie awake
It's hard to read the future
But not so hard to find the liars
Filling their checkbooks
With toxic fire
What if I said that I don't care
Well I'd be lying
Quite obviously
What if I said that I'm done breathing
Well I'd be dying
Quite literally
The sky will burn
With the fuel
From the ignorance we churn
How can we learn
When the facts
Of the matter are objurned
So I lie awake
I lie awake
It's hard to read the future
But not so hard to find the liars
Filling their checkbooks
With toxic fire
