Lagwagon - Live It Down Lyrics

the planet's lost
and all I need
to line my bed
with handkerchiefs
to bay my fatigue
to build a case
for true love lost
and lives erased
to live guilt free
in a foretold destiny
he found a hill where he
stakes his claim
and he'll
build a house
where he'll
martyr his children

the trees wheeze out
the ocean rise
he's gaining ground
in his high-rise
and all proceeds from
rewritten history
in fairy tales that he
still believes

he breathes and thrives and he's
immunized but he's
paralyzed 'cuz he's
sure to die off

soon running for the middle
higher ground but lower
while all the coasts are running off

cold water boils
mother earth's rage
his house and family have
washed away
where was his savior
his promised road
he followed every rule they
ever sold
he saw his world as a
vapor life support
we colonize and we
multiply as we
suck it dry yeah we're
sure to die off

live it down, live it down, live it
live it down, live it down, live it
live it down, live it down, live it down
