lyrics

We all have a hard time agreeing
how we ended up
on this living rock that we call home
gorgeous rock that we call home

Watch their towers rise
one dollar at a time
they're watching their world go
they're leaving us all below

We're standing at the edge of the Earth
just wondering why
you'd want to watch your world die

There is no where else for us to go
there is no where else for us to go
there is no where else for us to go

Is it a battle for power
or is it money that you're after
what reasoning constitutes
ignoring those that need you

While you climb the staircase
built from those who you've
crushed in your wake

There is no where else for us to go
there is no where else for us to go
there is no where else for us to go

What gives you the right
to dictate everyone's life
what we eat how we sleep
how we think what we drink

What gives you the right
to dictate everyone's life
what we eat how we sleep
how we think what we drink

You're just a corrupt king

Is it a battle for power
or is it money that you're after
what reasoning constitutes
ignoring those that need you

While you climb the staircase
built from those who you've
crushed in your wake
we are all the same
something's got to change
we as a society is what remains

There is no where else for us to go
no way home
where do we go from here
trying hard not to disappear

There is no where else for us to go
no way home
where do we go from here
trying hard not to disappear
there is no where else for us to go
no way home
