We'll be stardust Just a glimpse of the past And we won't last We are merely guests on a dying planet Overstaying our welcome by centuries Should be long extinct and forged into memories But we grow on and on and on Every inch of ground covered with housing Every gallon of ocean soaked with waste We're the makers of our own fate We drift towards the sun What we did can't be undone We drift towards the sun What we did cannot be undone Our world just falls apart We will be stardust We're just a glimpse of the past I fear we have already crossed the threshold Truth be told we'd be better off dead Hold that thought We act like homes are a dime a dozen But we grow on and on and on (on and on and on) Every inch of ground covered with housing Every gallon of ocean soaked with waste We're the makers of our own fate We drift towards the sun What we did cannot be undone Our world just falls apart We will be stardust We're just a glimpse of the past We leave the world blind and scarred for the future Turn a blind eye until we die Ignorance, greed and hate feed the tumor Until there's nothing left to rectify Every inch of ground covered with housing Every gallon of ocean soaked with waste We're the makers of our own fate There will be stardust And we won't last We drift towards the sun What we did cannot be undone Our world just falls apart We will be stardust We're just a glimpse of the past
