2 Billion

Sure, the Earth didn't get any bigger

But this place right here seems huge compared

To the cities that once ran riot like a black disease

Oh, see, do you recall the big pandemics?

And the effort this planet made to get rid of

This vicious plague known as humanity

When an old dying tree has lost its power to grow

When a bruised and battered river threatens to overflow

Then it hurts to know that there's nothing you can do

So let it burst, let it burst, let it burst

(Let it burst)

As time went by, affliction made us see

Expansion is not only quantity

And people stopped yearning for wealth and eternity

(And all at once, everyone could breathe)

When an old dying tree has lost its power to grow

When a bruised and battered river threatens to overflow

Then it hurts to know that there's nothing you can do

So let it burst, let it burst, let it burst

(Yeah)

Let it burst

Let it burst

When an old dying tree has lost its power to grow

When a bruised and battered river threatens to overflow

Then it hurts to know that there's nothing you can do

So let it burst, let it burst, let it burst

(Let it burst)
