[Intro] [Verse 1] So I’ve been counselling on the couch Mother Earth and that Father fucking Time You know they’ve not been alright And if they separate we’ll all be pulled apart [Link] [Verse 2] Mother Earth is tried of being used Father Time feels the strain of strings unwind Even activism causes abuse A compromise seems impossible to find [Chorus] We were citizens of the planet ’til the mass delusion that we own it We’ve marked the earth that we inhabit With our selfish money managed habits Now we’re prisoners of this planet So please let’s stop fucking it We are prisons of the planet So stop fucking it [Verse 3] They see us as a failed experiment Humanity is set to self extinct We’ll dissolve in greasy hunger halted Like encircled slow snails salted [Chorus] We were citizens of the planet ’til the mass delusion that we own it We’ve marked the earth that we inhabit With our selfish money managed habits Now we’re prisoners of this planet So please let’s stop fucking it We are prisons of the planet So stop fucking it [Solo] [Verse 4] I sigh when I wake to another day I despise its shinny fucking face I always preferred the night My only accomplice is the moon tonight [Chorus] We were citizens of the planet ’til the mass delusion that we own it We’ve marked the earth that we inhabit With our selfish money managed habits Now we’re prisoners of this planet So please let’s stop fucking it We are prisons of the planet So stop fucking it

À propos de la chanson

La chanson aborde la relation tumultueuse entre l'humanité et la planète qui l'accueille. Les paroles évoquent les conséquences de notre exploitation des ressources de la Terre et notre illusion de posséder cet espace que l'on habite. Le message met en lumière le désespoir de la planète face à notre égoïsme et l'urgence d'un changement de comportement avant qu’il ne soit trop tard. Dans un monde où notre mode de vie est devenu insoutenable, l’artiste souligne la nécessité de prendre conscience de notre impact sur l'environnement et d’agir pour préserver ce qui nous reste. À travers une critique franche de nos habitudes consuméristes, elle ça résonne comme un appel à la responsabilité collective.
