lyrics

i threw my my hands up, i saw what was beneath me

under trees we saw the ashes hit the ground

all the smoke stacks, all furnace burning

all the fire coming right up from the ground

what a machine, what a monster churning

we saw the fire and we heard the fires sound

big bad smoke stacks covering was i see

under trees we saw the ashes hit the ground

we march one by one into the belly of the beast

numbered graphed and measured out to fit the template of the machine

medicine in water sources keep the land locked and borders banned

regulate the chemicals to keep the questions from sight and hand

its not how things should be

lie after lie

we lose much more than we understand

day and night

everything they taught you is a lie

branch and branch after twisted branch, we see them split and re-seam

cross and flag after cross and flag, is all thats left to be seen

and we don't know how it has come this way

we don't see how it will last

and we don't see how much the difference makes

when all we know is all the things that we've been fed

and all of it is a lie.
