lyrics

Eyelids burn in the midday sun
Waiting for the rain to come
Shriveled cows chew withered grass
At least the burning time has passed

Acres scorched by greedy fire
Dustbowl gusts, now join the choir
Fatalistic Noah lies
Beneath the waves he truly died

It’s killin me and I don’t understand
How you can just sit on your hands
It’s killin me, it’s killin me, killin me again
Can I get another amen

Now we know the truth
You thought the world was yours to abuse
Now you get your taste
When we rise up and take your place

Cut an ark from ancient wood
And leave behind your childhood
Steal everything you can from God
That’s what he taught you all along

Twenty years from now I’ll laugh
Writing down your epitaph
Take me back to twenty ten
Put bigly pigs back in their pens

It’s killin me and I cannot comprehend
How they let you lie and pretend
It’s killin me, it’s killin me, killin me again
Can I get another ay

Now we know the truth
You thought the world was yours to abuse
Can’t wait to see the look on your face
When we put you down in your graves

Extremist views make extremist lands
War’s aflame and you brought a fan
Hurricanes and killer droughts
Have always been what you were about

Pharaohs of a dying age
Where do we turn when there’s no next page
Armageddon was far away
Until you brought it to today

It’s killin me and I don't understand
Why you want this planet to end
I guess it doesn’t matter anymore
Now we’re here to even the score

Now you know the truth
We’re better, we’re better than you
