You could say I didn't warn you You could say you didn't know Of the poison in the water How the trees won't grow Of the melting of the ice caps And the rising of the sea Of the species that we kill To make more space for you and me
Why are we so blind Why are we so blind Why are we Why are we so blind
The oil that fuels your engines I know it's running out You'll just ignore these words Proceed without a doubt Then the day dawns dark You cannot find respite From the damage that you've done You cannot make it right
Why are we so blind Why are we so blind Why are we Why are we so blind
You know the wisdom's out there To free us from this coil But we undercut the funding To maintain slavery to oil
Now when we lose it all There's nothing left to save You do not learn from your mistakes Slowly dig our grave So I am Cassandra With a glass rose in my hand Trying to stop the fall Of this experiment called man
Why are we so blind Why are we so blind Why are we Why are we so blind
