[00:10.60] "Driving Driving Driving"
[00:16.43] by 蛇
[00:18.16] I'm not a conspiracy theorist
[00:20.10] But I read blogs by scientists and
[00:22.18] I believe they know more than we are being told
[00:25.91] By the mainstream media sources
[00:28.19] Want the truth to hold its horses
[00:29.80] So there isn't mass hysteria
[00:32.58] As the sea floor erodes
[00:34.23] And those in and on the ocean
[00:36.07] All say "hey, what's this commotion"
[00:38.05] And try to get away, they are moving in slow motion
[00:41.92] 'cause their bodies are so heavy from a substance thick and deadly
[00:44.88] They say "I don't want to die, it's all your fault, I wasn't ready"
[00:50.40] And I'm sorry and I'm scared and sad and mad and unprepared
[00:54.20] To see the stuff that's in the sea evaporate into the air
[00:58.36] Where it will gather and form clouds that travel north upon the wind
[01:02.43] Drop its cool refreshing poison raindrops on our crops and children
[01:06.22]
[01:09.04] And maybe it's the end
[01:10.93] I always thought the end of man would be
[01:12.83] Exactly what we need for the earth to stand a chance
[01:16.90] And I always thought that I'd be fine
[01:19.01] If this happened in my lifetime
[01:21.06] Now that I'm a mother, it is really terrifying
[01:24.56]
[01:25.45] I've always identified with the turtles' soft insides
[01:29.28] Because there are times when I really need to hide
[01:33.15] But even the strongest, toughest, thickest shell is not designed
[01:36.96] To survive
[01:38.12] To survive
[01:39.23] To survive
[01:42.78] Something of this magnitude
[01:46.40]
[01:47.68] Because water is fluid and oil is crude
[01:53.57] And it billows way down deep
[01:55.98] And it sticks to grains of sand
[01:57.36] And it floats up on the surface where the birds all try to land
[02:01.32] And it's ruining the marshes, ecosystems are destroyed
[02:05.38] And the people all along the gulf coast are now unemployed
[02:09.32] While the men who cut the corners still scream
[02:11.94] "drill, drill, drill"
[02:13.52] From their yachts far away and their mansions on the hill
[02:18.06] And they turn away the cameras and scream
[02:20.54] "kill, kill, kill"
[02:21.96] As they burn endangered sea turtles alive
[02:26.68]
[02:31.14] They're burning turtles alive
[02:33.84]
[02:47.84] And the seas are all connected
[02:49.78] And we are all connected
[02:51.41] And you're living in denial if you think you won't be affected
[02:54.88] You can't hide behind your flag
[02:57.07] Because water knows no border
[02:59.07] It'll creep in every crevice, it'll seep in every pore
[03:02.61] They lie about the damage, the solutions are illusions
[03:06.49] There's no cover-up big enough to hide this huge a contusion
[03:10.65] On the face of our mother
[03:12.49] Yeah, that's right, mother earth
[03:14.77] Is the cost of every living thing what your product is worth?
[03:18.75] We are all afflicted with an underground addiction
[03:22.44] Will our desire for convenience be the cause of our extinction?
[03:26.04]
[03:26.95] The industry's the master and we are all the slaves
[03:30.25] And we're driving, driving, driving to our graves, graves, graves
[03:34.78] The industry's the master and we are all the slaves
[03:38.16] And we're driving, driving, driving to our graves, graves, graves, graves, graves, graves, graves, graves, graves
[03:45.11]
[03:47.84] So we must teach our kids to love themselves
[03:50.30] And let them live their lives
[03:52.40] What will they be if they grow up?
[03:54.21] Whatever they like
[03:55.89] It's crucial to raise children who won't do what they're told
[03:59.61] Who will fight for what's right and who can't be bought or sold
[04:03.16]
[04:04.04] I want nothing of this business, I'm staying underground
[04:07.38] I'm gonna ride the railroad and let my guard down
[04:11.56] We can forage and ride bikes, jump in lakes, go on hikes
[04:15.77] We can sing and sing for hours and click 'like' 'like' 'like'
[04:19.72] When somebody posts something good we share and spread the truth
[04:23.44] It's time to define what success means to you
[04:27.76] I hope my kid will never be another cog in their machine
[04:32.68] Trapped inside a box trying to remember her dreams
[04:36.53] They'll sell us all out for their greed, greed, greed
[04:39.65] As we cry for the earth while she bleeds, bleeds, bleeds, bleeds, bleeds, bleeds, bleeds, bleeds, bleeds
[04:47.50]
[04:50.22] So hold onto to your loved ones, hold on for dear life
[04:53.58] Try to walk like thunder leaving footprints that are light
[04:58.12] Hold onto to your loved ones, hold on for dear life
[05:02.04] Try to walk like thunder leaving footprints that are light
[05:06.09] Hold onto to your loved ones, hold on for dear life
[05:10.14] Try to walk like thunder leaving footprints that are light
[05:14.04] Hold onto to your loved ones, hold on for dear life
[05:18.64] And try to walk like thunder leaving footprints that are light
