Bottles float about the sea as hunters poach their ivory
Private jets fly through the air, VIPs without a care
Politicians stand corrupt as scientists run out of luck
Forest fires burn through the land, why don't people understand?
We're falling falling falling faster than
Anyone can stick a plaster
On you
Maybe we can get older, together we can get stronger
'Cos we're growing day by day, baby steps along the way
Maybe we can go further, together we can divert her
But the future won't be long if we're sat under the sun for evermore
Oh can we really still ignore?
It's all for them, it's not for us
'Cos the public fail to make a fuss
When everyone knows water flows
Where water really shouldn't go
We're falling falling falling faster than
Anyone can stick a plaster
On you
Maybe we can get older, together we can get stronger
'Cos we're growing day by day, baby steps along the way
Maybe we can go further, together we can divert her
But the future won't be long if we're sat under the sun for evermore
Oh can we really still ignore
The world that's knocking on our door?
