From Tourniquet

lyrics

From my bedroom window I can see someone's torn a huge hole in the sky
The sun's violet rays shining down on the place where the chemical rivers run dry
There's a rain falling down but it’s blistered the ground outside my back door
It flows out to a sea where the fish once swam free near the petroleum shores

The world is spinning faster while we're dancing with disaster
Will this generation last or will we burn
When will we learn
We've got to turn, turn
Turn before the closing door is locked for good

In my rear view mirror I can see where the forest has started to bleed
Earth stripped of its skin, raped by men on a whim, fuelled by corporate greed
In their haste to make waste they've moved south to a place where they can cut down the trees
When the trees are all gone they'll float on like a leaf held aloft by El Nino's warm breeze

The world is spinning faster while we're dancing with disaster
Will this generation last or will we burn
When will we learn
We've got to turn, turn
Turn before the closing door is locked for good

We're burning bridges we cannot rebuild
Across all the dump sites we've already filled
How can we live on a planet we've killed

The world is spinning faster while we're dancing with disaster
Will this generation last or will we burn
When will we learn
We've got to turn

Turn [x5]

Turn before the closing door is locked for good
Turn, turn, turn before the closing door is locked for good
Turn, turn, turn, turn, turn, turn
