Lyrics
The earth freezes up
The planet experiences a freezing-up phenomenon.
The food stops to grow
The ability for food to grow ceases.
We have poisoned this planet
The planet has been contaminated by human actions.
And for years it's died slow.
The Earth's degradation has been a slow process over many years.
The winters grow colder
Winters become increasingly colder.
And summer's too hot to breathe
Summers become unbearably hot, making it difficult to breathe.
Now mother earth vomits
The Earth metaphorically vomits, indicating a severe negative reaction to human actions.
Bringing you to your knees.
The consequences of environmental damage bring humanity to its knees.
Continue to ignore
People continue to ignore the environmental issues.
Drive your fat suv
Individuals drive large, fuel-inefficient SUVs.
Think only of yourself
Selfishness and lack of consideration for broader consequences.
And your greedy needs
A critique of greedy and self-centered behavior.
Run out of resources
Depletion of natural resources.
Tell me what will you do?
Raising the question of what actions will be taken when resources are exhausted.
You are mother earth's target
People become targets of the Earth's consequences due to their actions.
And she has her sights set on you.
The Earth is poised to retaliate against those who harm it.
Tell me what will you do?
A repetition of the question regarding actions when faced with environmental consequences.
When the earth vomits on you?
An inquiry into the response when the Earth reacts negatively.
When the water's run dry?
Addressing a future scenario where water becomes scarce.
And no tears left to cry?
Reflecting on a situation where tears or remorse are exhausted.
Species once plenty
Species that were once abundant are now extinct.
Now wiped off the map
Mass extinction events have wiped out numerous species from the Earth.
But when change is needed
Leaders dismiss the need for crucial changes.
The leaders just laugh
Criticism of leaders who mock the necessity for change.
Drill in Alaska
Environmental damage, like drilling in Alaska, is driven by greed and the pursuit of oil.
For greed and for oil
An ironic statement, suggesting temporary enjoyment while ignoring future consequences.
Well have fun for now
Forewarning of the negative impact on the lives of future generations.
Your kids lives will spoil.
Children's lives will suffer due to current environmental negligence.
