Every child, put down your toys
And come inside to sleep
We have to look you in the eye
And say, "We sold you cheap"
Let's confess, we did not act
With serious urgency
So open up the floodgates
To the rising seas
Temperature rising
Climate denying
Fever is gripping
Nobody's listening
Lustre is fading
'Cause nobody's trading
Wall Street is jumping
Still, the music keeps pumping
If you can't decide (if you can't decide)
Between wrong and right (wrong and right)
If you can't see through (if you can't see through)
All that you hold true (hold true)
Queen of the firmament
Lord of all beneath
Masters of the universe
We're all refugees
And in many countries
They adore celebrities
Open up the floodgates
To the rising seas
D-dinosaur stories
Reliving past glories
Lusting for gold
F-f-fishing for souls
They said it was a-coming
We knew it was a-coming
If you lift your game (if you lift your game)
Put your toys away (toys away)
Well, it looks like rain (well, it looks like rain)
On that western plain
Queen of the firmament
Lord of all beneath
Masters of the universe
We're all refugees
And in many countries
They adore celebrities
Open up (open up) the floodgates (floodgates)
To the rising seas
To the rising seas
To the rising seas
