Apron Strings

[Verse 1] Overpopulation Shrinking up the land Takin' food from my hand The hard-nosed entrepreneur And his black gold beneath the sea Killing all and everything We once owned the coastline And now the global street Takes it from beneath our feet We've lived the good days The present is alright But the future ain't looking too bright [Chorus] I have a son So innocent and clean Open up your clear blue eyes To see this dirty world And make of it What you see fit, baby We ain't hеre for a long time We'rе just here for a good time [Post-Chorus] We're ruinin' it For those yet to come For the lives that have just begun For those who can't help it We turn a blind eye and take it [Verse 2] Things ain't the same Surely you've noticed? Your ignorance is bliss And our mother earth Is nearly at her end Can we still make amends? Resources depleted Where do we turn to next? Falling hard from the apex Our lasting impression On the earth we leave behind Unlivable for the rest of mankind [Chorus] I have a girl My precious little girl I'll pull those apron strings Keep you close to my heart I'll let you go When time make me so, baby Cause they ain't here for a long time They just here for a good time [Post-Chorus] We're ruinin' it For those yet to come For the lives that have just begun For those who can't help it We turn a blind eye and take it [Outro] I have a child So innocent and clean Open up your clear blue eyes To see this dirty world And make of it What you see fit, baby We ain't here for a long time We're just here for a good time
