Lyrics
When our rivers run dry and our crops cease to grow
And when our summers grow longer and winters won't snow
From the banks of the ocean and the ice in the hills
To the fight in the desert where progress stands still
When we've lost our will
That's how we'll know this is not a test
We'll know this is cardiac arrest
Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes
We're crashing into the ground as we all fall from grace
When the air that we breathe becomes air that we choke
When the marsh fever spreads from the swamps to our homes
When your home on the range has been torn down and paved
And the buffalo roam to a slaughterhouse grave
What more will it take?
For us to know this is not a test
Oh no, this is cardiac arrest
Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes
Kissing the ground as we all fall from grace
This is a chance to set things straight
To bend or break the rules back into place
There is no middle ground, no compromise
We've drawn the line
With perfect aim we stand back and throw
Glass windows break and it's all about to blow
Lights go out as we pass the torch again
In hope that is stays lit
Oh-oh
Neutrality means that you don't really care
'Cause the struggle goes on even when you're not there
Blind and unaware
That's how we'll know this is not a test
Oh no, this is cardiac arrest
Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes
We're crashing into the ground as we all
Yeah, we all, we all fall from grace
