Lyrics

Big pharma, big beer, numbin' the people Big men in suitsโ€”keepin' it regal Politicians riggin'โ€”keepin' it legal While the Reserve prints more money under the Eagle The rest of us just tryin' to thread the needle Between gratitude and the magnitude of the history of evil While we're dulled by pills and pours The war drums roar Always advancing the art of weaponry Who can marshall the most treachery We're arms racin' with no tracks Everyone tryin' to stay with the pack We've been misguided, they gotta keep us divided I'm callin' Putin to the Ring My sis and I will pin ya, then fix that broken wing You were too young, needin' to swing Fists and gigs for sovereignty Just tryin' survive post-war poverty The air is our breath, the earth our flesh The water is our veins, fire breakin' all chains They tried to divide us, but we're still whole Love is the uprising, and truth is the goal The planet's just a ring, each flag in a corner I'm lookin' from aboveโ€”so... who's the foreigner But all corners don't carry the same name Some hold leverage, inherited claim Racketeering protection, spreadin' infection Thrones gone wireless, dodgin' detection Still buildin' castles on silent subjection It started at the throneโ€”plots of earth you could own From deeds of arms to deeds of land All run by the most powerful gang Every crown was forged in fire To claim the land, or face the pyre The air is our breath, the earth our flesh The water is our veins, fire breakin' all chains They tried to divide us, but we're still whole Love is the uprising, and truth is the goal The war is always for line of supply Who gets to live and who gets to die What enters our body, what enters our mind From ports to servers, cargo to memes It ain't just me pickin' up on the themes We sail through fiber optic seas Your mind the cargo, your clicks the fees Digital pirates takin' bits of your soul New Empires hiding behind their control Divided themselves, thinkin' we won't Stitch the seams and rise as a whole We're kidnapping Earth from our children Buildin' concrete kingdoms without wisdom Debt is energy hoarded, taxation deferred But the Earth ain't ours We're hers Yeah, the Earth ain't ours We're hers The air is our breath, the earth our flesh The water is our veins, fire breakin' all chains They tried to divide us, but we're still whole Love is the uprising, and truth is the goal We're hers... we're hers... I've got iron mountains in my blood So bring on the flood Cause my soul is an ark Always ready to embark On an ever greater journey I'm lettin' revolutions turn me Into a warrior of love Drawin' power from above Yeah, I'm drawin' power from above The Earth ain't ours... we're hers
