Angry Planet Songtext

Angry Planet Songtext
I live on an angry planet
Amidst the crowds and the endless noise
In the debris of the broken families
And the cracks in the grand designs
And all the vengeful gods are back
Gathering strength as the continents collide
Some live by the bloody sword and die by the bloody sword
Some by beauty and desire
I live in the shadow of the great volcano
I live by the good soil and the fire
Yes, of course I know that the days are numbered
But we will go down to the wire
And the pressure moves the mountains
Seven billion and counting
As the monkey tribes advance across the bleak terrain
All sown with seed of mono-culture
Wind and rain and revolution
Coming, but we know it isn′t personal
We just live on an angry planet
They say that we're all kings and queens in the new world
Except for those that aren′t
They say we can follow our dreams to the very top of the tree
Except for those who can't
They say that the meek shall inherit the earth
Except that they shan't
And the pressure moves the mountains
Seven billion and counting
As the monkey tribes advance across the ruined land
All sown with seed of mono-culture
War and rain and revolution
Coming, but we know it isn′t personal
And the pressure moves the mountains
Seven billion and counting
As the monkey tribes advance, all in a rush of blood
The jet stream blowing high above
The zombie hordes all banging war drums, raising flags
And the pressure moves the mountains
Seven billion and counting
As the monkey tribes advance across the ruined land
All sown with seed of mono-culture
War and rain and revolution
Coming, but I know it isn′t personal
We just live on an angry planet
Amidst the crowds and the endless noise
In the debris of the broken families
And the cracks in the grand designs
And all the vengeful gods are back
Gathering strength as the continents collide
Some live by the bloody sword and die by the bloody sword
Some by beauty and desire
I live in the shadow of the great volcano
I live by the good soil and the fire
Yes, of course I know that the days are numbered
But we will go down to the wire
And the pressure moves the mountains
Seven billion and counting
As the monkey tribes advance across the bleak terrain
All sown with seed of mono-culture
Wind and rain and revolution
Coming, but we know it isn′t personal
We just live on an angry planet
They say that we're all kings and queens in the new world
Except for those that aren′t
They say we can follow our dreams to the very top of the tree
Except for those who can't
They say that the meek shall inherit the earth
Except that they shan't
And the pressure moves the mountains
Seven billion and counting
As the monkey tribes advance across the ruined land
All sown with seed of mono-culture
War and rain and revolution
Coming, but we know it isn′t personal
And the pressure moves the mountains
Seven billion and counting
As the monkey tribes advance, all in a rush of blood
The jet stream blowing high above
The zombie hordes all banging war drums, raising flags
And the pressure moves the mountains
Seven billion and counting
As the monkey tribes advance across the ruined land
All sown with seed of mono-culture
War and rain and revolution
Coming, but I know it isn′t personal
We just live on an angry planet
