Stamped little barcodes onto our hands! Bought every cloud with a government smile! Air by subscription — free trial! free trial! Children with coupons for oxygen masks! Priests in a bunker approving the tax! Grandmother cooking with counterfeit heat! Burning old sneakers and broken TV screens! “Breathe responsibly.” “Drink responsibly.” “Die responsibly.” [Pre-Chorus] WHO TURNED THE MOUNTAINS INTO PARKING LOTS? WHO PUT THE OCEAN BEHIND A LOCK? [Chorus] THE ELEMENT THIEVES! THE ELEMENT THIEVES! Fire in a vault! Water in chains! Earth in an auction! Air in a cage! THE ELEMENT THIEVES! THE ELEMENT THIEVES! Sell us the sunlight! Meter the rain! Patent the dirt! Invoice the flame! [Verse 2] They vacuumed the wind from the side of the hills! Stored it in silos! Resold it in pills! Bottled the thunder for military use! Charged every farmer for touching the roots! Tiny executives licking their thumbs! Counting dead fish while banging on drums! Everybody dancing in chemical foam! Everybody livestreaming cities that choke! “Everything’s fiiiine…” “Everything’s cleeeean…” LIAR! [Bridge] A man in a necktie bought the horizon... Folded it neatly... Put it in storage... No rain for the poor. No heat for the old. No soil for the gardens. No sky for the birds. [Breakdown] YOU! DON’T! OWN! THE! WIND! YOU! DON’T! OWN! THE! SEA! YOU! DON’T! OWN! THE! FIRE! AND YOU! DON’T! OWN! ME! [Final Chorus] THE ELEMENT THIEVES! THE ELEMENT THIEVES! Water tastes plastic! Smoke in the wheat! Children with lighters! Ash in the streets! THE ELEMENT THIEVES! THE ELEMENT THIEVES! Everyone choking! Nobody speaks! Everyone thirsty! Nobody screams! [Outro] “Due to atmospheric shortages...” “Breathing hours will now end at sunset...”
