A new day dawns and it still ain't rained

And some say the planet earth still ain't changed

I wonder what they make of the extended summers

And storms that don't stop 'til the whole town's under

Seems we all just do what we feel like

Do whatever feels good - not what feels right

Not sure why but we've sacrificed foresight

Blinded by the lights of these television screens

I want to hear the television scream

Instead of reading us the small print of big business deals

Imagine how your kids would feel growing up

Skin burning up each day, heat wave never slowing up and sure enough

The powers that be create argument

But that's a childs game, we both know who started this

You once made a promise, I hope you can remember it

COs we've got no choice but to accept this inheritance





Look what we inherited

This is what we inherited

How can we say thank you

If you won't let us open our mouth?

Can't you understand how the modern man was made insane?

When his plans for the future feel made in vain?

When anyone who makes a stand gets chopped at the knees?

Unarmed protesters shot by police

Then reports switch name-tags - we're the enemies

It's a "bad education" when you can't afford the fees

The pieces of this pie could feed forty thieves

If you've never smelt the greed you're a little naïve

And a little like me, back when I was 18

Before I saw blood spilt for an Australian dream

It was your blood, my blood

OhLord wise up, rise up and see how they're blundering your kingdom

But second coming never came it's a shame that if God don't exist then that

Makes you insane

He'll discipline his children with the force of the elements

And we've got no choice but to accept his inheritance





Look what we inherited

This is what we inherited

How can we say thank you

We all in this together, so keep digging your grave so we can fall in

Together

Climbing out would give in to pressure

Have you ever had the guts to admit we don't live forever?

No cure for denial, praise for false idols

Easy to get dizzy on a downward spiral

Still blockout, can't blockout the burning truth

The sins of the father revisit the youth

It's a black and white issue now that green turned brown

Red faced when I think about how we turned out

Owed the world everything, we dying in debt

Life's a mirror that reflects what's under the flesh

And there isn't an alternative to breath

Believe this alternative energy is our alternative to death

But I'm a sinner too, sense regret in my sentiment

All I wanna do is thank you for this inheritance





Look what we inherited

This is what we inherited

How can we say thank you

If you won't let us open our mouth?
