lyrics

Roll up and read about it – there's an asteroid hanging up above
Never wonder what we'd do about it
All our leaders hiding money in the rug

We have the resources to care for each other
Now scrolling through news I see most that will suffer
Hard not to feel out of breath
Every front page covered in...

Unconsciously seeing troubling signs
Reflected in stories and games we design
Every life is a library lost
Untapped potential has a future cost

Short term goals told in black and white
Long term plans lost in wars we fight
Time to read a book – put down the screen

Scrolling down on the world
Perhaps it's what we deserve
Pass the flame with a sense of shame
It's our time
Was it our prime?
Swiping down on the world
Perhaps it's what we deserve
Pass the flame with a sense of shame
It's our time
Was it our prime?

Reach down from the pulpit
Tech bros evangelise enough
Every ill cured by progress
If you have the means to buy more stuff

If i'm not mistaken the given they're taking
Thirst that we're slaking goes on escalating
Hate feeling so beyond my depth
Every year brings us closer to...

Feeling the flame that is stoked by our crimes
Dropping my jaw – you're calm and reclined
Numb to feeling any sense of trust
For institutions leaving bridges to rust

Poor lost souls might've had it right
Rest in peace to avoid the plight
You see I have no mouth – and I must scream

Scrolling down on the world
Perhaps it's what we deserve
Pass the flame with a sense of shame
It's our time
Was it our prime?
Swiping down on the world
Perhaps it's what we deserve
Pass the flame with a sense of shame
It's our time
Was it our prime?

Scrolling down, down, down
Dig the ground, ground, ground
Scrolling down, down, down
Dig the ground, ground, ground
Scrolling down, down, down
Dig the ground, ground, ground
