lyrics

40

Everywhere you’re looking there’s children skipping school
Maybe they’re just products of their parents
Ignore them at your peril
Don’t take them all as fools
One day they’ll grow up and you’ll regret it

Maybe in the future a scientist survives
And builds an ark for everyone
It’s your only place to hide
All the other options
Bring us to our knees
It’s 40 days and 40 nights
For 40 years and 40 generations wide

Everywhere you’re looking there’s children skipping class
Property has poisoned everyone of us
Storing up your treasures, on someone else’s debt
One day you’ll grow up and you’ll regret it

Somewhere in the future a bubbles gonna burst
and all your shrewd investments they will crumble into dirt
All the other options
Bring us to our knees
It’s 40 days and 40 nights
For 40 years and 40 generations wide

Listen to the youngers
and what they have to say
Most of them are old enough to know our rotten ways.
All the other options? Blind stupidity
and 40 days and 40 nights
For 40 years and 40 generations wide
