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?
