lyrics

I don't believe you anymore

You've shown me what you have in store

The words you speak are less important

Than the deeds you do

Drain the water, frack the clay

And carry all the wealth away

Hastening your own decay

It's up to you

Sell our land that you preserved give us elusive dreams

Riches in the earth are more important than the streams

You dig into the mother's bones

And base your worth upon her stones

Protected in your fancy homes

From seeing truth

(The) Equality you say you meet's

Found only on the balance sheet

It's just another way to cheat

It's up to you

You say if I protect my land (it's a) terroristic threat

(but the) Grass is only greener now on your side of the fence

It's up to you

You copyright your GMOs

A farmer don't own what he sows

You tell him that's just how it goes

You'll have to sue

Legally you have the might (but)

Legally don't mean it's right (do you)

Think that power is your birthright

It's up to you

How can we sustain our land and keep the country free

If by our very birth we're owned by a corporate entity

You steal our farms to move your crude

They're now unfit for growing food

And fishing waters you pollute

For profit you've accrued

Starve humanity because

Being poor means having flaws

You're protected by your laws

It's up to you

Burn the skin off mother earth and fill the sky with dread

Your bank account won't mean a thing when we all wind up dead

It's up to you
