I live on an angry planet
Amidst the crowds and the endless noise
In the debris of the broken families
And the cracks in the grand designs
And all the angry gods are back
Gathering strength as the continents collide
Some live by the bloody sword
And die by the bloody sword, some by beauty and desire
I live in the shadow of the great volcano
I live by the good soil and the fire
And of course I know
That the days are numbered
But we will go down to the wire
And the pressure moves the mountains
Seven billion and counting
As the monkey tribes advance across the bleak terrain
All sown with seed of mono-culture
Wind and rain and revolution coming
But we know it isn't personal
We just live on an angry planet
They say that we're all kings and queens
In the new world except for those who aren't
They say we can follow our dreams
To the very top of the tree except for those who can't
They say that the meek shall inherit the earth
Except that they shan't
And the pressure moves the mountains
Seven billion and counting
As the monkey tribes advance
All in a rush of blood, the jet stream blowing
High above the zombie hordes
All banging war drums, raising flags
As the pressure moves the mountains
Seven billion now and counting
As the monkey tribes advance across the ruined land
All sown with seed of mono-culture
War and rain and revolution coming
But I know it isn't personal - I just live on an angry planet
