LYRICS

Tear down the forests, replace them with sky-highs

Pumping out sewage into the seas

Suck up the oil slicks, hollow out mountains

This planet's so sick, it's ready to heave

Don't look up, the sky's falling

Falling on me

Fall, fall, falling on me

JCB fingers, tearing at her lifeline

Greedy metal fingers, tearing at her heart

JCB fingers, tearing at her lifeline

Metal fingers, tearing at her heart

Rig-a-dig-a-dig-a-dig-a-dig-a-ding-ding

Dig-a-rig-a-rig-a-dig-a-dig-a-ding-ding

Rig-a-dig-a-dig-a-dig-a-dig-a-ding-ding

Dig-a-rig-a-rig-a-dig-a-dig-a-ding-ding

Rig-a-dig-a-dig-a-dig-a-dig-a-ding-ding

My Mother Nature has taken a turn for the worse

She's violated, and man is the name of her curse

The winds are screaming, the sky is bleeding red tears

Don't look up, the sky is falling

Falling on me

The oceans are cesspools of chemical compounds,

Plastic containers, industrial waste

Melt down the ice caps, wear out the o-zone

Everybody's losing this in-human race

Don't look up, the sky's falling

Falling on me

Fall, fall, falling on me

Rig-a-dig-a-dig-a-dig-a-dig-a-ding-ding

Dig-a-rig-a-rig-a-dig-a-dig-a-ding-ding

Rig-a-dig-a-dig-a-dig-a-dig-a-ding-ding

Dig-a-rig-a-rig-a-dig-a-dig-a-ding-ding

Rig-a-dig-a-dig-a-dig-a-dig-a-ding-ding

Falling on me
