I get so mad when I hear this generation has been dealt a bad hand
as though the environmental catastrophe was something we didn't understand.
The First Nations warned us more than a century ago, when there's no more fish, you can't eat gold.
We raised our voices and we marched around, but that doesn't stop the deals from going down
and its my fault, my parents' fault, we stood by and politicians denied, there's no doubt for not acting at all, it's our fault
For believing the dollar is almighty, letting Monsanto and Bayer run around like Nike, while Apple and Google share a Coke and a smile
McDonalds serves billions of animals slaughtered for taste, this disposable life laying it all to waste, Amazon delivers but Exxon goes the extra mile
And it goes on and on and on and on and on, it goes on and on and on and on and on and They Tell You
Change the lightbulb and the car you drive, I heard that bullshit a million times, we can't buy our way to sustainability
change the way we live, gotta change the way we shop, the bomb is ticking and there's seconds on the clock, there ain't no time for any more mistakes.
If we're gonna survive it ain't gonna be nice, can't keep living this first world life, the cost is too hight to keep eating steak
mmmm mmmm mm
and its my fault, my parents' fault, we stood by and politicians denied, there's no doubt for not changing at all, it's our fault
my parents fault, we stood by and corporations denied, there's no doubt for not acting at all, it's our fault
well, maybe there's hope on the horizon
I've read Derrick Jensen and he says to blow it up, go grab yourself a spear and learn to hunt, maybe that's the way it should be
The editors of Drawdown they say chin up, scale these solutions we can suck it all up, but I think the truth is somewhere in between
so I compost, reuse, recycle, zero-waste, be a vegan baby, and fix it when it breaks, and try to focus on only what we need
but doing what you can may not be enough
When the midwest is beachfront, I wonder where we'll go when there's no where left to run, technology fails and we go out into the sun
mmmm mmmmm
and its my fault, my parents' fault, we stood by and politicians denied, there's no doubt for not changing at all, it's our fault
my parents fault, we stood by and blamed the other guy, there's no doubt for not acting at all, it's our fault
think about the stories that we believe, the American Dream and the Economy, it's a fantasy and it's killing us
so why do we slave from another man's dream when we could be creating a new reality, what you reap is what you sow
ohh ohhh
Cause we are the corporations, and we are the politicians, and we are the other guy, look me in the eye, we are the same, them is us and we are to blame.
Described as a Zen-Metal-Freak-Jazz Guru, I am a classically trained guitarist whose playing style owes as much to Barrios
and Tarréga as Mustaine and Monk.
I am an Alternative Folk Artist whose songs engage the listener to feel and think deeply, to find the reverence in everyday life, and to question the stories that define so much of the modern world...more
