Lyrics
[Verse]
What will people say about today
When everything we've left behind decays?
[beat]
Nothing we have now will truly last
In ways things used to from the past.
[Verse]
Things from not so long ago falling apart
To see this waste around me breaks my heart
[beat]
Now we make more low quality stuff
When the planet's just had about enough
Whoa-oh-oh
[Verse]
Things from not so long ago falling apart
To see this waste around me breaks my heart
[beat]
Now we make more low quality stuff
When the planet's just had about enough
Whoa-oh-oh
Whoa-oh-oh
[beat]
[pre-chorus]
And we point back at our forefathers
We inherited their curse
[beat]
Denying that we're even worse
In a climbing exponential curve
[Chorus]
Sure, we did not ask for any of this
But how much of us would cast a wish
To return the plastics we grew up with
[beat]
Those treasured trinkets will all be dust
Among the wastelands we built out of lust
For the satisfaction of buying useless junk
Whoa-oh-oh
[beat]
Woe
[beat]
Woe
[beat]
Woe
[beat]
[pre-chorus]
And we shout back at our forefathers
We will blame and we will curse
[beat]
Denying that we're even worse
We could survive but will we learn?
[Chorus]
Sure, we did not ask for any of this
But how much of us would cast a wish
To return the plastics we grew up with
[beat]
Those treasured trinkets will all be dust
Among the wastelands we built out of lust
For the satisfaction of buying useless junk
[beat]
Woe
[beat]
Woe
[beat]
Woe
[beat]
[pre-chorus]
And we shout back at our forefathers
We will blame and we will curse
[beat]
Denying that we're even worse
We could survive but will we learn?
[Chorus]
Sure, we did not ask for any of this
But how much of us would cast a wish
To return the plastics we grew up with
[beat]
Those treasured trinkets will all be dust
Among the wastelands we built out of lust
For the satisfaction of buying useless junk
[beat]
Woe
[beat]
Woe

This is the way the world ends.
Not with a bang but with glitter.
