A long time ago there was nothing around
A long time ago there wasn't even sound
A couple of molecules was all it took
Colliding in a vacuum then the whole world shook alive
The whole world shook alive
We race to make the fastest cars
We race to fly our way to Mars
No one thought that it was doing harm
So many people left behind
Paying for someone else's crime
Stuck in a cycle so the rest can climb
Everyone wants to have a new apartment
Doesn't matter that the trees are falling
Wade our way into the big blue ocean
Using someone else's sand to fill it
A long time ago there was nothing around
A long time ago there wasn't even sound
A couple of molecules was all it took
Colliding in a vacuum then the whole world shook alive
The whole world shook alive
People discovered how to live
Better to teach them how to fish
Or whatever way the saying goes
But while the rest work hand in hand
Others profit off their land
Drilling far and deep and making holes
Everyone wants to have the latest Cool Thing
Doesn't matter that the ice is melting
If we don't see where the killing happens
We can believe that we were sent from heaven
A long time ago there was nothing around
A long time ago there wasn't even sound
A couple of molecules was all it took
Colliding in a vacuum then the whole world shook alive
The whole world shook alive
Some time ago there was life all around
Some time ago we stood on solid ground
A couple of men in suits was all it took
Destroying and erasing what the world had built
