Roland Staring - A fair amount of warnings Lyrics

A fair amount of warnings
That were all ignored
I guess we could have tried
But we just got bored
Distracted by endless flashing lights
That kept us awake each and every night

Maybe we could have sued
All those oil companies
Or we could have blamed the authorities
Habits are oh so hard to change
It's much easier if things stay the same

Slowly but gradually we got out of touch
With all of the things that matter so much
While all of the species just gradually died
We saw it all happen
Closed our eyes
Closed our eyes

It's time to stand up
For what is right
Blaming others
We wont win the fight
It's time to get out of our lazy seats
It sure would help if we would eat less meat

Or would you rather slowly sink away
Washed from earth in a century of decay
Where every grain is worth fighting a war
Where the beauty of life isn't worth living no more

A fair amount of warnings
We were just in time
It was only a fase
That passed on by
Human kind united as one
Happy forever under a peaceful sun

I know it's hard to believe such a tale
But if we don't try we will certainly fail
I hereby declare myself to start anew
I hope I can convince you
To do so too
To do so too
