"After Us, The Flood" lyrics

"After Us, The Flood"

The weather's just changing
They're exaggerating
Can't change human nature
It's happened before
Why would he adjust
It's a drop in the ocean
We'll simply adapt
They are using this for
More power, besides
Fault lies with other nations
And he's not to blame
So why would he keep score
And if it's Gods will he will
Trust innovation
And head for the stars
Once the air's breathable

So he kisses his daughter
He kisses his wife
He mutters a prayer
And takes hold of the knife
And outside the window
The sky's raining blood
He slices the meat
After us the flood
What is it to me
After us the flood

Doesn't it make you sad
Doesn't it make you sad
All the time that you thought you had

Doesn't it make you sad
Doesn't it make you sad
All the time that you thought you had

The weather's just changing
Too bad about the rain
But a new generation
Won't remember snow
They'll find a solution
A new resolution
He's basically ancient so
What does he know

Besides he worked hard
Finally reaping the fruits
After decades of scraping by
He's doing well
So if it's God's will he will
Trust innovation
And drive his favourite car
To the depths of hell

He kisses his daughter
He kisses his wife
He mutters a prayer
And takes hold of the knife
And outside the window
The sky's raining blood
He slices the meat
After us the flood

He kisses his daughter
He kisses his wife
He mutters a prayer
And takes hold of the knife
And outside the window
The sky's raining blood
There's mold on the bread
After us the flood

Like I give a damn
After us the flood
And don't you feel bad all the time that you thought...
The grander your blessings the
Lesser the days that we've got

Five, four, three, two, one

He kisses his daughter
He kisses his wife
He mutters a prayer
And takes hold of the knife
And outside the window
The sky's raining blood
He slices the meat
After us the flood

He kisses his daughter
He kisses his wife
He brushes her hair
And he swats at a fly
And outside the window
The sky's raining blood
There's mold on the bread
After us the flood

Like I give a damn
After us the flood
He slices the meat
After us the flood
What is it to me
After us the flood
