they say we’re headed for a worldwide drought
a dystopia of dissolution and decline
forests turn to desert and the streams are running dry
brings a shiny tear to the Indian’s eye
they say we might not make it to the future
we’ll be chewed up and spit out by ourselves
the oceans crest the shore and the flood is upon
oh man please can you tell me now how long
they say we probably don’t have much longer
they say we should start living for today
but that’s the same road which we took to get here
and at this point there’s nothing that i fear
they say we’re headed for a worldwide drought
fields turning to dust and cities filthy and roasting
chemicals and bacteria overwhelming shrinking waterways
famine, illness, war and malaise
they say we’re headed for a worldwide drought
but from where i’m sitting everything is fine
the sprinkler spits crystals on the morning lawn
they glisten in the sun then move on
