wookiefoot - writing on the wall lyrics
(intro)
recently i’ve been thinking of you
my great+grandchild
how insane it became to explain what we’re going through
and these days my mind can run wild
so i thought it would better if i wrote it in a letter to you
dear great+grand kids
i wanna try to explain what we did to your planet
and d+mn it, i know it’s hard to understand it
but the fact is, we failed to take action and
acted like manic generational bandits
and i’m sure you gotta couple of questions like
what were you thinking and what was your intention
but, sadly this message is just a confession about
how we failеd the test and nevеr learned our d+mn lesson
you know your ancestors worked in the coal mine
never havin’ money, never had time
never see the sun, poisoning the land with the fumble
mostly die from black lung, just to provide for they young and
now everybody thinkin’ that we doing all the best that we can
we, do it for our families
never understanding what we did
(you can’t starve your grand+children, just to feed your kids)
and even though there’s many souls, with many eyes
they’ll never know, never know it’s there at all
it’s clear to me that i could see, that they tried
just know tonight, it’s in the writing on the wall
it’s in the writing on the wall
(interlude)
(verse)
dear great+grand dad
while i appreciate the thought of it
your world sounds beautiful but you left us the opposite
all these floods and famines, you could’ve stopped a lot of it
you had the opportunity, but you just kept dropping it
all i’m saying is i wish we still had bees
or maybe i could’ve climbed in a real tree
or dove down deep on a living coral reef
and stared in disbelief beneath an unpolluted sea
cause we are not on this earth, we are of it
we are not here to exploit, we were created to love it
it’s not too late for you to rise above it
feel the cries through time of generational justice
only you will know what you did
when the tides came by, whether you fought or you hid
only you will know what you did
cause you can’t starve your grand+children just to feed your kids
and even though there’s many souls, with many eyes
they’ll never know, never know it’s there at all
it’s clear to me that i could see, that they tried
just know tonight, it’s in the writing on the wall
even though there’s many souls, with many eyes
who’d never know, never know it’s there at all
it’s clear to me that we could change it if we tried
just you and i, we write the writing on the wall
we write the writing on the wall
