• Difficulty: Intermediate

Chorus:
             D
How did you ever think?
             C                             G
How did you ever think it wasn't bound to happen?
                 D
We poisoned the waterfalls
                             C
Set fires to our rivers of hope
               G                                 D
The end of us all, well, it was always bound to happen
    C
To happen

Interlude:
D

Verse 1:
 D
Come on kids, it's time to vote

Boris Johnson's sniffing coke

All the children are depressed

Not the future we had hoped
 C
Little girls unsafe at home

She's scrolling up and down her phone
      G
She hates her life, sh? hates herself

And sh 's twelve years old
        D
These social apps are now a good system

For views and likes and shares
    C
We find peace from drugs and ***
      G
And prescription anxiety meds
 D
Sweep the truth under the rug

Feed us plastic, GMO corpse
C
We don't need self-motivation
 G
Robots will take all our jobs

Chorus:
D
  How did we ever think?
                                  C              G
How did we ever think it wasn't bound to happen?
                 D
We poisoned the waterfalls

And set fires to our rivers of hope
                 C                                 G
We're all gonna die, but what Do we Do before it happens?
      D
It happens?

Verse 2:
     D
You turn a blind eye when the drunk man falls

Did you ever think why is the drunk man drunk?

The system failed, two kids in jail

And the rich get rich, and the rest get sunk
   C
Classist, sexist, racist, ableist

Fascists, ageist, homophobic
  G
Country leaders ****** our futures

And they think we haven’t noticed
 D
Forest burning, oils spills

Melting ice and methane gas
 C
Toxic waste and plastic fish
        G
We’re digging holes to hide our trash
 D
Unity reeks in all our songs

But we drew borders as we cross our land
     C
A thousand years we've been at war
           G
When the planet is dead, we will all hold hands

Chorus:
D
  How did we ever think?
                           C                     G
How did we ever think it wasn't bound to happen?
                 D
We poisoned the waterfalls

And set fires to our rivers of hope
                 C                                 G
We're all gonna die, but what Do we Do before it happens?

It happens?

Outro:

Attention citizens
Please evacuate the country in an orderly fashion
And leave behind any personal belongings
Um, that you don't need
