[Intro] Suits around tables carving up land Empty promises from corporate hands Black gold fever spreading like disease Profit margins climbing by degrees [Verse] The ledger shows growth But the sky turns grey For quarterly gains We all have to pay [Pre-Chorus] Extraction Contraction The earth gives a moan We reap what they've sown [Chorus] Giants gathered at the kill Counting dollars from the drill Last drops from a dying earth What's survival really worth? [Verse] The system keeps grinding While oceans grow warm The warnings ignored As they weather the storm [Bridge] Deny! Science becomes lies! Buy! Politicians for your side! Drill! Faster than before! More! Always wanting more! [Final Chorus] Last drops from a dying earth What's survival really worth? The future sold for present gain Our children left to bear the pain [Outro] When the wells run dry Will the money buy A brand new sky?
