Five Billion Years
Age is at your heels and I've stayed wiseSet free all the spiders and kill the fliesBut I know a man with bee stings in his eyesThough he knows he will be swallowed he still triesRise and fallAgainThe better half of this world is in chainsWith glossy magazines glued to their brainsWhile some are dying to control the reinsMost are happily unmoved and take no painsRise and fallAgainFive billion years just to standI once had a home, but who can tellNow my small town belongs to Taco BellThe beast is loose and now we're scared as hellA fish's only defense is to swellRise and fallAgainSongtexteWhat we believe, if all that we make,Is siphoned away and devoured for our own sakeAnd when we're all dead and seep into the crustThe beings to come can make oil out of usSo say your prayers and I'll kiss you goodnightI'll crack the door and leave the hallway lightI'll tell you that your future will be bright'Cause now the cruelest lies all come in whiteRise and fallAgainFive billion yearsFive billion yearsFive billion years (x4)
