Black

Hey, hey, yeah
Lands of pleasing forests, shiny lakes of blue
Are laid spread out before you, was the best I could do
The good intentions revolve around your soul as the earth to the sun
Now the air you tasted and breathed has taken a turn
Ooh and all I taught you was everything
Ooh, I know some want it all, that I warned

And now those greedy hands plot beneath the clouds
For what is everything
Oh, the atmosphere, isn’t coming back
Will end everything

Just take a walk outside, you’re surrounded by life and beauty
I see the extinction, but why don’t you care?
All those twisted thoughts that spin ’round your heads
You’re spinning, oh you’re spinning, how quick your minds will go, go astray

And it’s all in your hands, you must understand
That this is happening
And your future will all be washed in black
The end of everything

All the love gone bad turns your world to black
Destroys all you see, all that you are, all you’ll be yeah – uh uh, uh uh, ooh

I know someday you’ll make a last second try
I know you’ll realize, and everyone will care, but why
Why, why can’t it be, oh can’t it be now?
Ooh, ah yeah, ah ooh
