Humans

Love bird, you flew into my window Now in the sticky love nest sits a widow The tree it fell on all the people Gathered there to watch it topple Now turn around, it's burning down The city we live in Should we mobilize? Take them by surprise? Let them have their way with us? Wounds be by old enemies Broke my heart to see Foundations ripped apart And investments fade away I guess we got off to a bad start No oxygen What is the outcome? Hungry humans We've got to enslave them We'll burn those bridges When we come to them I'm not just their leader I'm also one of them The food supply has been depleted The river's ran dry just when it was needed The rats come out to take it over Singing, squeaking, "We built this city" It's hard to breathe But we couldn't leave Nowhere left to go Almost everybody died Drank the tears from those who cried We shriveled from the sodium And a map was found with an X on it So we followed it there And what did we find? An underground design As we entered in to our surprise Oxygen Rivers of playgrounds(?) The ancients just stayed down They never stopped moving We stumbled towards them But they locked all the barn doors So we had to dig deeper We had to dig deeper And the deep was dark I wanted to sleep forever Wake up later, maybe never We had to build a civilization Let the planet focus on the planet's rotation We tried, we tried We really tried But no one could do it Happily(?) alive Never learned how to survive We were humans being useless No oxygen What is the outcome? Hungry humans We've got to enslave them We'll burn those bridges When we come to them I'm not just their leader I'm also one of them We're freed into oblivion No traces of civilized living eating the earth We're fading to oblivion No traces of civilized living eaten by earth
