Lyrics
We are running out of water,
Summer's setting out to be too hot
For going out except in shade.
Now the sun is rising everyday,
And I hate how it just stays that way,
The nights are too short these days.
I keep on thinking how mankind
Would shrivel up and burn and die
If we were fired into the sun.
The noise cuts off my head some days,
I wish that I was dead in ways,
I'm better now I'm only one.
And that's just how it's got to be,
I've got the get used to it,
Six billion people think that me
Is more important than the rest,
And that's just how it's meant to be,
There's people living who aren't me.
