Systems Failing
Oooh that treasure hunt is on!
It’s the urban panacea
Bound by tragic fault and measure
We are alone together
The course is steady, ripe and ready
It ain’t no secret
Catastrophe is waiting
I know it when I feel it
All systems failing
In the moving stars and levers
We’ve got family trees and fatal weather
Sold like fevered salt and honey
These spotlight thieves are making money
The course is steady, ripe and ready
It ain’t no secret
Catastrophe is waiting
I know it when I feel it
All systems failing
Poison king and plastic oceans
Divide us with our clashing notions
Like china bulls we start their fires
Forsake our seeds, never the liars
The course is steady, ripe and ready
It ain’t no secret
Catastrophe is waiting
I know it when I feel it
All systems failing
The icepick tales are deep and heavy
And our rivers overcome the levee
Brace yourself and place your bet
Cuz what you are is what you’ll get
The course is steady, we’re ripe and ready
And it ain’t exactly secret
Catastrophe is waiting
I know it when I feel it
All systems failing
I saw it coming
I told you so, and I told you so
