Environmental Anxiety.

How did you ever think How did you ever think it wasn't bound to happen? You poison the waterfalls Set fire to our rivers of hope The end of us all Well it was always bound to happen To happen Come on, kids, it's time to vote Boris Johnson's sniffing coke All the children are depressed Not the future we had hoped Little girls aren't safe at home She's scrolling up and down her phone She hates her life, she hates herself And she's 12 years old These socials apps are now our gods Since dopamine from likes and shares Then we find peace from drugs and s*x and prescription anxiety meds Sweep the truth under the rug Feed us plastic GMO crops We don't need self motivation Robots will take all our jobs How did we ever think How did we ever think it wasn't bound to happen? We poisoned the waterfalls And set fires to our rivers of hope We're all gonna die, what do we do before it happens? It happens You turn a blind eye when the drunk man falls Did you ever think why is the drunk man drunk? A system failed, two kids in jail And the rich get rich and the rest get sunk Classist, s*xist, racist, ableist, fascist, ageist, homophobic Country leaders fucked our futures and they think we haven't noticed Forests burning, oil spills, melting ice and methane gas Toxic waste and plastic fish, we're digging holes to hide our trash Unity reeks in all our songs but we drew borders across our lands A thousand years we been at war When the planet is dead we will all hold hands How did we ever think How did we ever think it wasn't bound to happen? We poisoned the waterfalls And set fires to our rivers of hope We're all gonna die, what do we do before it happens? It happens (Attention citizens Please evacuate the country in an orderly fashion And leave behind any personal belongings that you don't need) --- Environmental Anxiety. - RAYE
