lyrics

Mother may, mother may I
Ask for forgiveness for the ways I
Use and abuse you, it’s not the way I
Chose to live, I was born in this chaos
Made a mess now we’re looking for a way out
Got you stressing and there ain’t nowhere safe now
I know you’re pissed I can feel your tears rain down
Hear the howl in your voice when you scream out


Why we acting like we hate her?
Putting poison in the water and the air
Chopping down her giving tree for some paper
Digging deep destroying every layer
Karma coming ain’t no way to escape her
Got us looking to the sky for a savior
People scared, tell the preacher say a prayer
Want someone to save us but need to save her
Now we’re running from her anger
She’s going mad and we can’t contain her
Turning nature to mother fucking nature
It isn’t how she made us, it’s how we made her

Come down to where the eagles don’t fly
Even though they never lost their wings
Come down to where the lions just lie
Lying in their cage
Come down to where the wind don’t blow right
And the sun gets blocked by shade
Come down to where the clouds fill the sky
Pouring down black rain
Pouring down black rain

She took your power out now
Hear her yelling, her thunder yelling out loud
See her flashing, lightning in the clouds now
Feel her breathe, heavy wind’ll blow your house down
She’s been watching, crying while she stares down
Fire burning, it’s hotter every year now
Water ruined, you’re drilling everywhere now
Where’s the oil? The oil’s in the air now
Keep it building, your building’s getting buried now
Ice melting, the animals are dying out
What’s the budget? Prices getting higher now
Cost of living, no you can’t buy her out

Come down to where the eagles don’t fly
Even though they never lost their wings
Come down to where the lions just lie
Lying in their cage
Come down to where the wind don’t blow right
And the sun gets blocked by shade
Come down to where the clouds fill the sky
Pouring down black rain
Pouring down black rain
Pouring down black rain
