On The Day We Broke The World Lyrics by Borrowed Time (UK)

Year of the Mayfly

2017

On the day we broke the world
On the day we broke the world
There was panic in the streets
And the sirens sang of doom
That we brought upon ourselves
The countdown had been set
At armageddon minus one
As a warning to us all
Of the stupid things weve done
On the day we broke the world
On the day we broke the world
We wasted so much time
On the technology of war
Put weapons into space
But we couldn't feed the poor
And the monеy that we spent
On the crap wе didn't need
Was the grease that oils the gears
Of the machinery of greed
On the day we broke the world
On the day we broke the world
On the day we broke the world
On the day we broke the world
We cut down all the trees
Saw the good earth wash away
Set fire to the sky
Turned night time into day
And the other things that lived
That we share the planet with
We considered them as things
To exploit and make us rich
We trained children to the gun
Taught them trigger time was fun
All the wars that we'd begun
Started blending into one
And all thats left for them
Are ashes and mayhem
We destroyed their future lives
When instead we could have saved them
On the day we broke the world
On the day we broke the world
On the day we broke the world
On the day we broke the world
On the day we broke the .............
