Broken System
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Life will never be the same
Life will never be the same
Life will never be the same
Life will never be the same
Life will never be the same
Life will never be the same
Life will never be the same
Life will never be the same
Life will never be the same
We ain't got no air to breathe
No water to drink
No place to take shelter
This whole worlds on the brink
I-I-I don't need to tell you how dire things are right now
We're running out of time
We're running out of time
We're running out of time to save our planet
A broken system
We are to blame
Are we forgiven
Or are we to shame?
Displaced and hungry
There's no food to be found
We're fighting a war against time
Before it all burns down
A broken system
We are to blame
Are we forgiven
Or are we to shame?
The alarm bells have been sounding for a generation
But this is your moment for you to be heard
We must act now
Are you ready?
You must never ever stop using your energy to save our planet
We must act now
The oceans are arising
We need to rise as well
We need to raise our voices
Or sit silent in hell
A broken system
We are to blame
Or are we to shame?
A broken system
We are to blame
A broken system
Or are we to shame?
A broken system
We are to blame
A broken system
