The Jayhawks – Homecoming Lyrics

Alternative

Eh, the room is closing in
The air is getting thicker
It's hard for me to breathe
All the writing's on the wall
Yet we refuse to read it
It's buried in the sand

We've gone down the road
To places uncharted
We saw your world
It's time to get started
Short-sighted men
With eyes on their pockets
The next generation
Is watching the clock wind down
Down, down
All coming down

As the slaughterhouse is hung
Stockholders count their profits
While blocking out the sun
Oh, the ocean's brown with gold
Polar ice is melting
Watch forests as they fall

There's no one else
Coming to save us
Why are the children
Always the bravest?
Stealing their dreams
One day at a time
A future betrayal
In nameless science
All coming down

Every street is choked with cars
Poor Mother Earth is ravaged
And disappearing stars
Left to ourselves
And our own devices
Who can we trust
To make the right choices?
The deep status quo
Collapsing the city
Leave me behind
On a dead dying planet
All coming down

All coming down
All coming down
All coming down
