It's been described almost like a trash soup
They're calling this the great garbage patch of the pacific
Now a floating island or several floating islands of rubbish, including everything from homes, to crushed cars, and even bodies
If we don't change, where does this end?
[Intro: Godemis]
Planet home is dying, mother earth is sick
And we're the reason she's about to croak, I hope it sticks
Nobody gave a qualm or fuck about the weather
So rain, hail, sleet, or snow we're going out together
And it will be forever, and it will be for all
Suck it up and take your breath, when it's the final curtain call, Yall
[Verse 1: Godemis]
We bottle everything and I think I'm bottomin' out
Got a bunch of stupid shit that I would've been good without
Could've took the high road but I felt like I had to have it
Are we hard wired or am I coppin' shit out of habit?
We consumers, surprised we didn't notice it any sooner
It's heatin' up, they tell you that global warming's a rumor
A myth or, is it my frame of logic is piss poor?
Is any understanding of it too much to wish for?
I mean I'm not about to start up a rally
But be honest, neither are you cause we don't want it that badly
It's sad, people pretend like this shit they usin' just disappears
As if it doesn't accumulate every fiscal year
Shit don't evaporate, vanish without a trace
There's an island made of trash, you can spot it from outer space, Gnarly
Fuck it all, we fuckin' the planet raw
In a place for each in all, it's a planet I don't recall, at all
We all people, phones stuck in our hands
With these gluttons chewin' the fat, what the fuck are they sayin'?
I don't know
Could it be we've been a victim of every gimmick?
They just put the tools in place and let everybody else spin it?
When it comes down to it we are ass
In comparison to the planet [pimpin'], we are trash
Or a virus, what have you a new mutation
I view it all in front of a youtube nation.

An oil leak the size of Houston
The worst oil spill in history
It looks like everything's dead
Though doesn't it calculate at 206 million gallons?
80 square miles of devastation
9 times more oil than what used to be the biggest spill ever
No amount of money can fix the damage that's already been done to the environment
There is no reason to suggest that it will ever slow down
[Verse 2: Ubiquitous]
How come nobody ever asks what if this fails?
Nothing is infinite tips scales
Our ships sails, we should have listened to Ishmael
Now we're standing at the stake, feeling the flames rise
The people are dazed sharing a similar state of mind
Say as long as I'm in charge why starve, I buy at large
The human race is on autopilot to sayonara.
Antarctica's demise provides the higher tide.
Climate change became societal cyanide
Sign of the time, end of days, cometh at last light
London under the black plague, covered in rats
Oil spillin' in the gulf coast bubblin' in black
Earthquake in cities collapse under rubble and ash
Mother nature set a crash course, run in its path
We dare to stand in her way, and she cut us in half
Calamity crept in while humanity slept
The hurricane sandy effect to get your sanity test
The television projects more panic and stress
Conquestin' for pestilence, war, famine, and death
Now that hour is 13, you see the storms form
Our winters became warm, we have been forewarned
Our summers are so long, we're staring at the news, confused
Waiting patiently for something to go wrong
Lacking competence or common sense
Procrastination is slowly paving the way for to this era of consequences
[News, Television, Reporters]
Half a million people are still without power
And it doesn't decompose. A graveyard of trash. 3.5 million tons of it
This could be the deadliest [class] of it's kind
Public transport system remains paralyzed. 10 subway tunnels were flooded. They're desperately trying to pump water out
A city synonymous with summer fun, is now a city completely submerged
Texas parks and wildlife tonight tells us that the raising temperatures may be responsible for this - thousands of dead fish that have washed ashore all along Galveston highland
An international group of scientific experts came out today and said in no uncertain terms, global warming is real and it's almost certainly caused by what we humans do to this planet
