lyrics

Ecological disaster, corporate catastrophe
One after another -- why you killing me?
Do you want me dead dead dead, or should I cry cry cry?
Time to sink further, I don't want to fry
Step into the marina, take a cruise on a boat
I’ll be breezing past the octopi who be wearing dirty coats
I’m deep in the jungle and I’m sweeping off the flies
I'm a witness to the logging and all the corporate lies
The snakes and the monkeys are running for their lives
Species going extinct right before my eyes
I'm grasping onto history but the times are running out
I come across a dead boar with blood on its snout
The Indians are struggling to preserve their land
But nothing can stop the Sunburned Hand of the Man
But now the sea’s polluted, it’s really bothering me
Where will our worries wash red cancer all on me?
On the broken shore, dirty wishes in a bottle
Sunken deep, the garbage broke my throttle
Cultural genocide like WWII
No one gives a shit, not whitey or the Jews
There ain’t no friggin time to care about the Guggenheim
Wake up! The Earth can’t spare another dime
The sounds of the jungle are being ripped apart
Tractors and the saws: it breaks my heart
Well nature is sacred, I wanna give her some respect
But the system’s so corrupt I don’t know who I should elect
Step into the marina, take a cruise on a boat
I’ll be breezing past the octopi who be wearing dirty coats
