Blue
by Max Bombast

(All right now!)

You lied to me right to my face
You said you'd leave the trees and rivers in their place
You clear cut for a buck
A thousand-year-old grove
You dug up the earth's blood
Until the tailings overflowed

Our children won't remember
When the waters here where blue
You destroyed the splendor
And pretended there was nothing we could do

You filled the sky with the smoke of forest fires
You can't deny that it made your profits higher
You sent in your thugs with their clubs
To shut down all dissent
You took all the lands from their hands and
Burned them down without consent

Our children won't remember
When the sky above was blue
It stays red forever if we all believe there's nothing we can do

It's getting hotter
It's got me feeling blue
Can't drink the water
It's got me feeling blue
Our sons and daughters
Won't have the world we knew
Until we recognize that
We can't just do nothing anymore

This pale blue dot
The only world we'll know
It's all we got
Won't find another home
If you don't stop
Keeping the status quo
That's why we're taught
We can do nothing

It's getting hotter
It's got me feeling blue
Can't drink the water
It's got me feeling blue
Our sons and daughters
Won't have the world we knew
Until we recognize that
We can't just do nothing anymore
