live@theDank '2023 - we did two takes and used the second one, but something weird happened with the video at the end of the second take, so we used some 'take1' video footage in the closing seconds of what you see here ... as if you would have noticed if i hadn't said anything :-) hope ya like it xx
lyrics
its like we're out smokin in the rain!
we're tryna light it up and the whole worlds busy trying ta ... put it out again
its like we're lookin for someone else to blame
we'd like things to change, but we dont wanna have to like... do anything
its kinda like life has been charging us 6bux, but only giving us a half a glass of the stuff, what sort of sick fucks been putting flies and mosquitoes in everybody's simulations anyway?
we're not gonna stand round here and TAKE anymore!
...when we can sit down and get it delivered right to our door :-(
and as the whole world turns to rust
are we gonna stand round here try and insufflate all of the dust?
and as the waterlevel starts rising, we keep out gaze fixed squarely on the horizon so we dont notice nothing, sometimes we're smoking in the rain
we're not gonna stand round here and TAKE anymore!
...when we can sit down and get it delivered right to our door :-(
whats this? another thing? that none of us? can afford to ignore?
did you want an award? just for savin' the world?
we can be human, every once in a while
we can be humane, every now and then
but the rest of the time, we get by, with our tiny little reptile mind
we're all chemistry anyway, and thats ok...
we can be humane...
