Was there a time that we knew peace?
When all the children had a place to sleep?
When rhetoric was not enough?
Was there a time we weren't at war?
When we knew what our hearts and hands were for?
I don't believe there ever was
It's always been a lie
A soothing lullaby
We'll soon be swallowed by the sea
Was there a time we looked around?
And do we really even want to know what's going down?
Well I think no one really does
We'd rather close our eyes
Sing soothing lullabies
We'll soon be swallowed by the sea
The water's rising now
And we will surely drown
If we don't turn around
