Wastelands
When a newborn comes around,
Or someone is having troubles,
They say:
Welcome to reality
Well, here's a wake-up to reality
Look around: You proud of our Earth?
A decade ago, cowboys used to roam on horseback,
And put up with the heat
Now they wipe the sweat off of their brows,
Aussie blokes say, "Boy, today's a scorcher"
Wanna know why?
Coz we're all blinded by greed and laziness
Too lazy to invest in a car
That doesn't heat up the Earth
Too blinded by pretentious leadership
Where politicians know the facts, but do **** all
Ever seen the pollution cloud above Mexico City?
It's ****** disgusting
What are we doing to our world
We only have one, one chance
One hope to not **** up,
Wipe ourselves out
In our own vile gases
Yet look around
Too corrupt to care,
Too lazy to do anything
Blinded by falsities
As we choke on the fumes
Of mankind's stupidity
Welcome to reality
Welcome to the Wastelands
****** me off how we find the facts out, yet don't use the facts as a base to do anything. Too little, too late
