If you could see We are tied to this earth There is nowhere left to move The finite resources wasted In an addiction to the combustion of fossil fuels, Or the profits this ensured Supplying a powerful elite, A closed shop at the top A brotherhood of cheats Revolution came too late The chance to reverse the decay To reconcile with nature To explore outer worlds Lost in the generations of your time To live for today To believe in I, me, and mine Steadily stripped of any say Or belief in the power of their democracy Giving up hope and will to be truly free Just lucky not to be One of those across the sea All the prophets murdered All their words lost in a web Shallow with nostalgia Hollow and unreal Nobody to turn to Becoming too numb to feel Pain for anything but themselves A people in need of shock Where even images of war and death do not rock Do not stop this boat that sails Full of, and carried on a sea of slaves Crushing these human waves That do not know their strength We are the last ones left Scientists of a future Born out of failure to resist Soldiers of a future That we do not want to exist We make contact to make a plea That if you could see what we could see If we could show you our view You would pick up the fight Like you have to do If you had seen what we've seen If we could show you our world You would pick up the fight Just like you know you should
