Lyrics

Outside
Animals are waiting for a kinder man
Bleeding in the shadow of his camper van
All mod cons at all costs - what’s another grand?
-
We swallow up their forest beds
Just like Peter Garrett said:
“Concrete you don’t move my soul”
-
Turn the tide
And tell the world
What it is we’re looking for
Don’t we want to see?
Those that lead
Do not deceive
Or hide themselves amongst the leaves
In the woods of nature’s need
-
Turn the page and see
The things that we could be
If we’re not weighed down
Shove aside the weeds
Push down our greed
Deep into the ground
Perhaps less is more
Neediness a bore
Let’s cut it down
And move along
-
Inside
This negative space, where more is more
We shop for meaning, but restraint’s a chore
And the feelings we buy are hollow to the core
Oh come on…
-
Let’s turn the tide
Let’s show the world
We want to stand for something more
Good people, don’t we want to see?
Those that lead
Do not deceive
Or hide themselves amongst the leaves
While they’re cutting down the trees?
-
Nature’s watching
Nature waits
