Was there a time that we knew peace
When all the children had a place to sleep?
Rhetoric was not enough
Was there a time we weren't at war
When we knew what our hearts and hands were for?
I don't believe there ever was
It's always been a lie, a soothing lullaby
We'll soon be swallowed by the sea
Was there a time we looked around
Do we really even want to know what's going down?
Well, I think no one really does
We'd rather close our eyes, sing soothing lullaby
We'll soon be swallowed by the sea
The water's rising now and we will surely drown
If we don't turn around
