[verse] They plowed through the forests to open new lanes brought CEOs in on new private planes polluted these waters while they were still rains Told you you were lucky to be part of the change The horizons began to take on grey hues They built prime real estate on your scenic views Clench your fists and scream at the sky What's left of this land that their wealth can't divide [powerful epic chorus] Oh the fireflies turned off their lights The gentle calls of the owls were now silent at night The moon and the stars competed to shine But were drowned out by the profane city lights [verse] These trails which taught you to trust your own feet were now covered over with concrete streets And it's true it's ironic for me to complain But we have to ask is all the progress insane? [powerful epic chorus] Oh the fireflies turned off their lights The gentle calls of the owls were now silent at night The moon and the stars competed to shine But were drowned out by the profane city lights The owls and the crickets were now silent at night The moon and the stars couldn't outshine These new blinding city lights [verse] These trails which taught you to trust your own feet were now covered over with concrete 2 feet deep And the mountains which use to call you to climb Were now at the mercy of salaried time [powerful epic chorus] Oh the fireflies turned off their lights The owls and the crickets were now silent at night The moon and the stars couldn't outshine These new blinding city lights These new blinding city lights. [powerful epic chorus] Oh the fireflies turned off their lights The owls and the crickets were now silent at night The moon and the stars couldn't outshine These new blinding city lights [end]
