See that carbon footprint the one stomped on the earth the one that you've been treading in since the moment of your birth it's the dog **** on the muddy boot that stinks of gasoline it's the plastic bag and broken glass it's the poison nicotine it's the mattress in the hedgerow it's the paint can in the lake It's the acid in the raindrop and each promise that we break see that carbon footprint the one stamped on liquored breath that's the one you never noticed until too late the earth faced death

Carbon Footprints
See that carbon footprint the one stomped on the earth the one that you've been treading in since the moment of your birth it's the dog **** on the muddy boot that stinks of gasoline it's the plastic bag and broken glass it's the poison nicotine it's the mattress in the hedgerow it's the paint can in the lake It's the acid in the raindrop and each promise that we break see that carbon footprint the one stamped on liquored breath that's the one you never noticed until too late the earth faced death
