Translation
Bilingual
I dated a smoker from Missoula
She was Christian
I could taste the mutual corruption when we were kissing
My roommates were in love
My apartment was a prison
I was stuck in between a rock and a hard decision
I wonder what she was thinking
When I went up and missing
I guess we'll never know because I left without a mention
It was teaching for me
And painful for her
Just another self-centered boy
Burn it all down if it don't suit me
You can salt the Earth and pollute the sea
They can make a man believe anything
But you cannot convince him he's wrong
Count the carcasses in the snow
Gone is the age of the buffalo
The pale-skinned dragon defends his hoard
Though he can never spend his gold
I was up North where it's cold as ice
Found me a tree that was old as Christ
Cut it down to build a rocking chair
And I rocked myself to sleep
Oil tankers in the Salish Sea
Dumping their filth in the pale blue green
No tears shed for the orca whale
I was told that it's him or me
Burn it all down if it don't suit me
You can salt the Earth and pollute the sea
They can make a man believe anything
But you cannot convince him he's wrong
Count the body parts in the stones
Overseas we will feed the crows
You can build a city on a hill
Or an empire out of bones
I was unfazed as the Congo cried
I remained cool as the Arctic fried
I was asleep as the Outback burned
But I woke for Notre-Dame
Squeeze my allies and break their legs
Melt the bifrost release the plague
the jangling keys of the Death Star sing from the waistband of a boy
So, burn it all down if it don't suit me
You can salt the Earth and pollute the sea
They can make a man believe anything
But you cannot convince him he's wrong
Bury your head in the Western sand
Build your home over Western land
It's your human right
In your man's world
Said another self centered boy
