mdc - it's later than you think lyrics

[verse 1]
hollow haunted eyes will tell
it’s later than you think
money, hopes and future dreams
all vanish in a blink
indigents both young and old
at malnutrition’s brink
graduates that cannot read
i wonder if they think
rat racer succeeds
wife is draped in mink
landlord signs a deed
tenant blood for ink
mournful headline reads
it’s later than you think
working+class labor freeze
middle+class money squeeze
lower+class ends don’t meet
out of cash, in the street
out of work in their prime
skim want ads in the line
down and out without a dime
turns to a life of crime
get caught, stuck in jail
no way to raise the bail
no grease to tip the scale
overcrowding in the jail
[verse 2]
tyrannosaurus rex still roars
it’s later than you think
whales beach themselves on shore
decompose and stink
humans bent on profit cause
their habitat to shrink
when fish have nowhere to swim
what do you think you’ll drink?
water clean to blue
fouled with chemicals and oil
poison soaking through
poisoning the soil
through the tap to you
farewell mortal coil!
spray arid extra+dry
punch a hole in the sky
dust bowl to poison share
barren moon forever more
be our own missing link
burning eyes, constant blink
like dinosaurs now extinct
it’s later than you think
from blue green and balanced home
to the abyss we are thrown
engrave it on our tombstone
and down to the catacombs
[verse 3]
they knew a thousand years ago
it’s later than you think
the last three hundred rhinos know
it’s later than you think
eco+bio+socio systems
tremble on the brink
people all over the world know
it’s later than you think
repair the planet’s health
clear the ship and shore
redivide the wealth
clothe and house the poor
pull the plug on stealth
spare the world a war
don’t let the children bleed
mouths we’re obliged to feed
medical care they need
teach everyone to read
conserve and live with less
stop fear and prejudice
all humankind must be
living and thinking free
raise mortality rate
not left to chance or fate
’cause there’s no time to waste
least it will be too late
