--Lyrics--
The climate’s running wild, glaciers weep and die. Storms, floods, droughts, and fires, multiply
The way we waste this world, makes you wanna cry
Will this century be, infamous for our terracide?
When our shame is exploding, there´ll be nowhere to hide
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend,
Ah, you don't believe we're on the Eve of Destruction.
--
Don't you understand what I'm trying to say? Can't you feel the fear that I'm feeling today?
When weather extremes, will come each and every day,
When climate’s breaking down, there’s no running away.
Instead of trying to save, we put the world in a grave,
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend,
--
Ah, you don't believe we're on the Eve of Destruction.
My blood's so mad feels like coagulating, I'm sitting here in desolation
You can't twist the truth there are no regulations, emissions just rise for the lack of legislation.
Talk alone, doesn’t stop the devastation, when our self- respect is disintegrating.
This whole crazy world is just too frustrating.
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend,
Ah, you don't believe we're on the Eve of Destruction.
--
Ocean levels are on the rise. We´re rapidly losing, the Arctic Ice;
Forests are burning, and farmland dries, while climate deniers, are TRUMPeting their lies
Are we blind and deaf, when our conscience cries? And too dumb and daft, to get a carbon price?
How can we look our children in the eyes?
But you tell me, over and over and over again my friend,
Ah, you don't believe we're on the Eve of Destruction.
Ah, you don't believe we're on the Eve of Destruction.
