Everyone Is Guilty
We're all washed up, we have lost every resource or quality that we could claim to be proud of
And don't you feel that the air tastes a little thicker, the water makes you feel sick?
The sun will burn through your closed eyes. the womb that bore us, now we rape
I turn my dry face to the sky and wait for rain but I can't drink. Waters brown with corpses burn my tongue so I can't speak
Waves lap at my feet and burn at me all away so I can't walk
Begging, praying for relief, but I can't stop. Pass this on to infants, not yet standing tall, make them pay for your deeds, for a chance to breathe
All these comforts will go on after you and spoil for others a universal gift. Pass it on again, throw the bomb away
But somebody will hold it when it goes off. Damage limitation is limited to failure, things must change (we can change it)
As we run on blistered concrete, more must change. We're the ones who set up these towers, this must change
We're the ones who will pull them down, all must change, we can change it all
But i'm guilty. Everyone is guilty, everyone can make a change
