[00:22.135] I can see a wave approaching
[00:27.462] And it threatens all I live for
[00:33.287] "the ceremony of innocence
[00:38.184] is drowned"in Texas oil
[00:43.508] And the muddy water's rising
[00:48.818] And the temperature is climbing
[00:54.189] They ignore the Lord Stern's wisdom
[00:59.528] While "the big fool says push on"
[01:14.241] And the permafrost is melting
[01:17.025] And the glaciers are receding
[01:19.611] The extinctions are beginning
[01:22.147] And the big fool says push on
[01:24.766] And the rich buy private islands
[01:27.249] Hoard the food in luxury bunkers
[01:29.811] And they'll pay their private armies
[01:32.177] To shoot our families when we beg
[01:35.496] But the big fool says keep pushing
[01:37.776] And the big fool says keep pushing
[01:40.234] And the big fool says keep pushing
[01:42.733] The big fool says push on
[02:06.405] And the storms surge through our city
[02:08.872] While they break the Paris treaty
[02:11.435] And they act like this is normal
[02:13.971] And they go about their business
[02:16.433] And they piss on love and reason
[02:18.785] While the scientists are weeping
[02:21.321] They deregulate the coal mines
[02:23.716] While the big fool says push on
[02:37.807] And I'm so tired of screaming now
[02:42.583] Can't wake from what I'm dreaming now
[02:47.868] To look my baby in the eye
[02:52.531] is more than I can bear
[02:57.691] And we have no choice but go on
[03:02.547] Though the covenant is broken
[03:07.567] Lying shattered and indifferent
[03:12.565] While the big fool says push on
[03:17.645] Big fool says push on
[03:32.147]
[04:06.326] "The ark was moving on the waters
[04:08.207] That had become so exceedingly powerful"
[04:10.430] "15 cubits above did the water prevail"
[04:14.731] "And all flesh below did perish
[04:16.593] beneath the waters of oblivion
[04:19.446] "Among the fowl among the cattle"
[04:21.779] And all the "creeping things that creep"
[04:24.813] And even mountains then were covered
[04:27.364] Breath of the spirit was extinguished"
[04:29.817] God blotted out what he'd created
[04:32.517] The covenant of redemption broken
[04:35.251] No human hand will be extended
[04:38.056] To receive the dove's green present
[04:40.610] Only the screeching of the raven
[04:43.194] And the big fool says push on
[04:55.863]
[05:15.866] "Caw Caw Caw ... Lord Lord Lord"
