Lyrics

Shocking how nothing shocks anymore The message read as it washed ashore Skies turn black as my eyes look down Written on the back are these words I've found We'll inherit the earth but we don't want it It's been ours since birth, what you doing on it? We'll inherit the earth but we don't want it Laying claim at birth, what you doing on it? Waterfalls of grain flow through our hands We're too weak to stand and too weak to stray Big trees sway and the air is still Lovers climb at the top of a hill and say We'll inherit the earth but we don't want it It's been ours since birth, what you doing on it? We'll inherit the earth but we don't want it Laid our claim at birth, what you doing on it? We watch the world from the padded cell And our eyes scream what our lips must quell Oh, well... I've been told that the light shines darkness It ain't quite the same If I was off the wall then it's you I bring They're all frustration whales Last bundle of twigs grew strong and young We can't hold our tongues at the top of our lungs We'll inherit the earth but don't tell anybody It's been ours since birth, and it's ours already We'll inherit the earth but don't tell anybody It's been ours since birth, and it's ours already We'll inherit the earth but don't tell anybody Don't tell a soul I got my hands in my pockets and I'm waiting for the day to come Inherit the earth Inherit the earth Inherit the earth Inherit the earth Inherit the earth Inherit the earth Inherit the earth Inherit the earth
