Kimya Dawson - Driving driving driving

^EmI'm not a conspiracy theorist, but ^CI read blogs by scientists And ^GI believe they know, more than ^Fwe are being told By the ^Emmainstream media sources who want the ^Ctruth to hold it's horses so there ^Gisn't mass hysteria as ^Fthe sea floor erodes

And those ^Emin and on the ocean all say ^Chey what's this commotion and they ^Gtry to get away but they are ^Fmoving in slow motion because their ^Embodies are so heavy from a ^Csubstance thick and deadly they say ^GI don't want to die It's all your ^Ffault I wasn't ready

I'm so ^Emsorry and I'm scared and sad and ^Cmad and unprepared to see the ^Gstuff that's in the sea evapo^Frate into the air where it will ^Emgather and form clouds that travel ^Cnorth upon the wind and drop their ^Gcool refreshing poison raindrops ^Fon our crops and children

So ^Emthis may be the end I've always ^Cthought the end of man would be ^Gexactly what we need for the ^Fearth to stand a chance And I ^Emalways thought I would be fine If ^Cthis happened if my lifetime But ^Gnow that I'm a mother it is ^Freally terrifying

And ^EmI've always identified ^Cwith a turtle's soft insides ^GBecause there are times when I ^Freally need to hide But ev^Emen the strongest, toughest, thickest ^Cshell is not designed to ^Gsurvive, to survive, to ^Fsurvive

Something of this ^Emmagnitude ^C Because ^Gwater is fluid and ^Foil is crude

And it ^Embillows way down deep and it ^Csticks to grains of sand And it ^Gfloats upon the surface where the ^Fbirds all try to land And the ^Emmarshes are all ruined, eco^Csystems destroyed And the ^Gpeople all along the Gulf Coast ^Fare now unemployed

While the ^Emmen who cut the corners still scream ^CDRILL, DRILL, DRILL from their ^Gyachts so far away and their ^Fmansions on the hill And they ^Emturn away the cameras and scream ^CKILL, KILL, KILL As they ^Glight endangered sea turtles on ^Ffire

Because the ^Emseas are all connected, And ^Cwe are all connected And ^Gyou are in denial if you think ^Fyou won't be affected You can't ^Emhide behind your flag because ^Cwater knows no border It will ^Gcreep in every crack and ^Fseep in every pore

They ^Emlie about the numbers the so^Clutions are illusions But no ^Gcover up can hide ^Fthis huge of a contusion On the ^Emface of our mother, that's ^Cright, mother earth Is the ^Gcost of every living thing what ^Fyour product is worth?

Well, ^Emwe are all afflicted with an ^Cunderground addiction will our ^Gdesire for convenience be the ^Fcause of our extinction? And the ^Emindustry's the master and ^Cwe are all the slaves And we're ^GDRIVING, DRIVING, DRIVING to our ^FGRAVES, GRAVES, GRAVES

We must ^Emteach our kids to love themselves and ^Clet them live their lives What ^Gwill they be if they grow up? What^Fever they like. It is ^Emcrucial to raise children who ^Cdon't do what they're told Who will ^Gfight for what's right and who ^Fcan't be bought or sold

I want ^Emnothing of this business I am ^Cstaying underground And I'm ^Ggonna ride the railroad and ^Flet my guard down We can ^Emforage, and ride bikes, and jump in ^Clakes, and go on hikes We can ^Gsing and sing for hours and click ^FLIKE, LIKE, LIKE

When some^Embody posts something good we ^Cshare and spread the truth It's ^Gtime to define what suc^Fcess means to you I ^Emhope my kid will never be ^Canother cog in their machine ^GTrapped inside a box trying to ^Fremember her dreams

They will ^Emsell us all out for their ^CGREED, GREED, GREED As we ^Gcry for the earth as she ^FBLEEDS, BLEEDS, BLEEDS

So ^Emhold on to your loved ones, yeah, ^Chold on for dear life ^GTry to walk like thunder leaving ^Ffootprints that are light ^EmHold on to your loved ones, ^Chold on for dear life ^GTry to walk like thunder leaving ^Ffootprints that are light

I'm not a ^Emconspiracy theorist, but ^CI read blogs by scientists And ^GI believe they know, more than ^Fwe are being told By the ^Emmainstream media sources who want the ^Ctruth to hold it's horses so there ^Gisn't mass hysteria as ^Fthe sea floor erodes
