Lyrics

[00:47.28] Take a look at the powers that be
[00:50.69] Still believing they're making history
[00:53.98] Cruising on that diesel course
[00:57.32] Forcing life into a long-dead horse
[01:13.88] Every time one well is emptied
[01:17.22] Another foreign strike is pre-empted
[01:20.47] We're living on old fossil lives
[01:23.70] And lead by men cheating for their prize
[01:31.70] Wars, shame and self-abuse
[01:35.0] Failed states are on the news
[01:38.25] All nations have to choose
[01:41.40] Survival or the noose
[01:43.20] We got the world to lose
[01:58.11] Old men draining the land
[02:04.73] Their souls turning to holes
[02:42.88] Penniless men were given their pens
[02:45.74] And the hanged-man rules
[02:47.38] With his split-brain views
[02:49.47] Blinded like mice we try to throw the dice
[02:52.33] With our hands tied up
[02:53.93] The money train don't stop
[03:03.59] Wars, shame and self-abuse
[03:06.74] Failed states are on the news
[03:10.11] All nations have to choose
[03:13.20] Survival or the noose
[03:16.77] Wars, shame and self-abuse
[03:20.41] Failed states are on the news
[03:23.34] All nations have to choose
[03:26.49] Survival or the noose
[03:29.99] Wars, shame and self-abuse
[03:33.35] Failed states are on the news
[03:36.56] All nations have to choose
[03:39.65] Survival or the noose
[03:42.71] We got the world to lose
