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
