It's Comin's Down - Lyrics & Credits

The time is short, she’s on the run

Just like I heard Neil Young sing in ’71

Where we gonna fly to when the garden is gone?

Cuz brothers and sisters, it won’t be long

 

It’s comin’ down

Yeah, it’s comin’ down

 

Brothers and sisters look around look around!

Despite your best intentions it’s all coming down

It’s comin’ down

 

Now tell me Mr Leader something’s happenin’ here

The monarchs queens and drones are gonna disappear

Why do you look up if you can’t see the sky?

Why you try and live when you know you’re gonna die?

 

It’s comin’ down

Yeah, it’s comin’ down

 

Brothers and sisters look around look around!

Despite your best intentions it’s all coming down

 

It’s comin’ down, yeah it’s comin’ down

 

Brothers and sisters, look around look around!

Despite our best intentions we slept through the alarm

 

Once they built a city, called it Babylon

Luxury and fantasy they poured it all on

Today we got technology to play that old game

But once we reach the top it’s gonna turn out the same

 

It’s comin’ down

Yeah, it’s comin’ down

​

 

Don’t see what’s around us

We’re puzzled by the big fuss

Walking in a lonely dream

 

The message on our cell phone

Says “Turn around and go home”

Waiting for the silver seed

 

Four billion years

Of stumbling and tears

We’re frozen in a stony sleep

 

Asked to tend the garden

Was it all that hard

To make promises we could keep?
