Angry Planet

I live on an angry planet, amidst the crowds and the endless noise
In the debris of the broken families
And the cracks in the grand designs

And all the vengeful gods are back
Gathering strength as the continents collide

Some live by the bloody sword and die by the bloody swors
Some by beauty and desire
I live in the shadow of the great volcano
I live by the good soil and the fire
Yes of course I know that the days are numbered
But we will go down to the wire

And the pressure moves the mountains, seven billion and counting
As the monkey tribes advance across the bleak terrain
All sown with seed of mono-culture
Wind and rain and revolution coming
But we know it isn't personal - we just live on an angry planet

They say that we're all kings and queens in the new world
Except for those who aren't
They say we can follow our dreams to the very top of the tree
Except for those who can't
They say that the meek shall inherit the earth
Except that they shan't

And the pressure moves the mountains, seven billion and counting
As the monkey tribes advance across the barren land
All sown with seed of mono-culture, war and rain and revolution coming
But you know it isn't personal

And the pressure moves the mountains, seven billion and counting
As the monkey tribes advance, all in a rush of blood
The jet stream blowing figh above
The zombie hordes all banging war drums, raising flags

As the pressure moves the mountains, seven billion now and counting
As the monkey tribes advance across the ruined land
All sown with seed of mono-culture, war and rain and revolution coming
But I know it isn't personal
I just live on an angry planet
