The Flood (Alternative Version)

We've seen better days

Say we bleed the same, the lies repeating

What a life to waste

In the dissonance of people screaming

Revealing we're living in despair

Don't let us trade our worth for what is trending

Why are we so condescending?

After us the flood

And in the world so cold and so demanding

There can be no happy ending

After us the flood

Did we miss the sign?

How could we ignore all premonitions?

Faulty by design

It's implied we're faultless but our ambitions

Are vicious, we’re going to lose it all

Don't let us trade our worth for what is trending

Why are we so condescending?

After us the flood

And in the world so cold and so demanding

There can be no happy ending

After us the flood

It’s in my head

It’s something I can’t stand

Tell me how dare we

Treat everyone with disrespect

Why do we assume without a doubt

We’re the ones this planet spins around

It goes without saying

The levees are breaking

Forever we’ll bear what cannot be undone

Don't let us trade our worth for what is trending

Why are we so condescending?

After us the flood

And in the world so cold and so demanding

There can be no happy ending

After us the flood

And in the world so cold and so demanding

There can be no happy ending

After us the flood

After us the flood

After us the flood

After us the flood
