Apron Strings

Overpopulation

Shrinkin' up the land, takin' food from our hands

The hard nose entrepreneur

And his black gold beneath the sea, killin' all and everything

We watch on a coastline

Another global streak, take it from beneath our feet

We've lived through good days

The present is alright, but the future ain't lookin' too bright

I have a son, so innocent and clean

Open up her clear blue eyes to see this dirty world

And make of it what you see fit, baby

We ain't here for a long time, we're just here for a good time

We're ruinin' it for those yet to come

For the lives that have just begun

Those who can't help me

They turn a blind eye and take it

Things ain't the same

Surely, you'll not test, your ignorance is bliss

And now mother earth

Is nearly at her end, can we still make amends?

Resources depleted

Where do we turn to next? Fallin' hard apex

Our lasting impression

On this earth, we leave behind unlivable for the rest of mankind

I have a girl, my precious little girl

I'll pull those apron strings, keep you close to my heart

I wont' let you go when time has my soul, baby

Well, they ain't here for a long time, they just here for a good time

We're ruinin' it for those yet to come

For the lives that have just begun

To those that can't help it

We turned a blind eye and take it

I have a child, so innocent and clean

Open up your clear blue eyes to see this dirty world

And make of it what you see fit, baby

We ain't here for a long time, we're just here for a good time
