Lyrics
Vines
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.
Grey cracks, green leaks and then sneaks through
A couple drip drip drops will do
You've created this big bloody mess
Now it's ripped and it's pissed
And it's coming for you
And all your self assured
Grey monument absurd
Unquestionable morality confirmed
Soon that crack becomes a means of things undone
Green sprouts thorns legs eyes horns,
The time has come slither
And grow, strangle all you know
Of satisfaction, comfort, progress and home
As the green flows into your town
There is nothing that can hold it down
Breaking out, up from under the ground
You thought you could control
Nature won't settle down
Can't contain it now
No it just won't allow
For all your arrogance that karma's coming round
Churches, factories, hospitals, smokestacks
All crushed, taken back by weeds
And there ain't no going back
You said you wanted it to grow
You thought you had it all your own
But after all is said and done
Look what you've got to show
Burn the lab, smash the cage
Trash the club, trash the stage
Through the smoke and rage
Look at the fucking price you've paid
That karma's coming round
Break out, up from under the ground
You thought you could control
Nature won't settle down
Can't contain it now
No it just won't allow
For all your arrogance that karma's coming round
That karma's coming round
Science has let you down
That karma's coming round
Where is your progress now?
