Drink from the Welll

We’re building walls on a shaking foundation but we’re too busy to notice

And when we’re done here we will leave pretty houses for a world where no one can live

With happiness always just out of reach, we follow the trails that run into the ground

To become kings of ashes we will burn the whole world down

But once we could drink from the well

We’ve sprayed our fields till the weeds grew resistant, pulled dragnets through every oceans

Replaced our forests with deserts and landfills to ensure a steady growth

We've poisoned the waters and ruined the crops so what do we say our kids turn to us

And ask us to justify all this mess - they will reap what we sow
