Mother died green

This mistake has been barred,
I've joined the royal fascade of kids who just don't give a shit
but they're still angry about all of it,
and even though we say that we are putting you in homes one day
I dont even know if we'll make it to that show
cuz the world is old and tired, and the water is putting out fires
that were made from electricity that we're trying to harness from the sea;

For we found this Mother, who was our friend
but her bridge we did not tend
and now that it's old and worn
we are searching for another dawn.
When tell me this oh intelligent Mr. Scientist
When all of that which is good and green is chopped and cut and made into plasticity
who will tend us then but the true question is why, and when?

When the day that green is all a dream and a toxic wasteland envelops thee
we'll look up to a sunless sky
and wish that we could all just die.
