Whole World's Melting

Verse 1:
Gimme a Range Rover, get me a bulldozer
Knock down the trees so I can build a mansion supernova.
I need a bigger motor, another cup holder,
My kid’s can undo global warming when they get older
Think you’re so underprivileged with your iPhone,
Eating fruit grown in another time zone.
A shrink-wrapped lunch from another state,
You’re throwing half away so you can lose some weight.
Prechorus:
We’re living in excess, living in greed
I don’t like dirt but I don’t love green.
Inject my veins with propylene, I’m a suped-up money making machine
Chorus:
And the whole world’s melting, the whole world’s melting
The whole world’s melting, you’re pointing at me and I’m pointing at you
The whole world’s melting, the whole world’s melting,
The whole world’s melting, and we’ll never know what to do
Verse 2:
Another corporation, another gas station,
Our carbon footprint’s growing faster than the population.
Forget about phonics, we’re hooked on electronics.
I know I use it but I can’t tell you what silicon is.
GMO’s on BPA plates, but the FDA swears it’ll be OK.
There’s a dark, dark future not far away,
But who cares? We’re all gonna die someday.
Prechorus 1x
Chorus 1x
Bridge/Breakdown:
Well now I don’t care how much fuel it takes,
I need a bottle of wine imported from Spain.
Get me diamonds from South Africa,
No Walmart coffee, need Arabica.
I need a handmade shirt with a sweatshop touch,
Import it from China if it costs too much
Get me snow cones from Antartica,
Cuz nothing’s too good for America.
Chorus 1x

Glass House Lover

Verse 1:
You've changed, or maybe it's just me
But either way, I can finally see how unkind you've really come to be.
And it hurts; does it ever hurt you, too?
Or are you still trapped in your facade
Of games and sex and getting bombed?
Pretending everything is still okay
Prechorus:
You never really cared for me
You never really cared for me
Chorus:
Sweat-soaked and drenched in cheap cologne
I'd do anything to avoid being alone
And I'm sorry for my bitter taste,
But you fooled me once and I'm disgraced.
I was a glass house lover but you went and threw a stone
Oh, I should of known
Verse 2:
Is this what I was put here for?
Just to drive you to the liquor store,
And pray that there'll be something more?
I know we'll never make it in the end.
I'm an optimist, but I've been getting pissed,
And if I leave now, I know I won't be missed.
I'm so tired of waking up alone
Prechorus 2:
I'm naked with a note beside my bed,
And I can't seem to get you out of my head
Chorus 1x

Sifting Sand

Verse 1:
On the summer days I like to pedal to the ocean shore.
Drink a glass of something nice, think about the years before.
Look around at what I see, lovers line the shore galore.
I wonder why no one's with me, loneliness is my rapport...
Chorus 1:
I'm a lover without a love, slowly drifting out to sea.
The ocean swallows me all by myself... is there something wrong with me?
The waves they crash and pull me under - and drag me to ocean floor.
But as I sink you know I wonder, will this loneliness haunt me forevermore?
Verse 2:
The days they come the days they go, but solidarity stays close.
Beneath the sea I stay afloat but like a school-less fish I swim alone.
I think of me - I think of them, why are we all on our own?
It's thoughts like these I must condemn, things aren't bleak they're just unknown.
Chorus 2:
I'm a lover without a lover, sifting sand upon the ocean floor.
I really couldn't act much dumber, I won't waste my time down here anymore.
I swim on up to the fresh warm air, and paddle towards all I see.
I got no loving girl but I don't care, I'll just love my life till lovin' girl finds me.
Verse 3:
I go about my normal life - happy days and happy nights.
I do not look for love to come, I live a life that's full of fun.
But if I find that special girl, I'll let her into my big world.
We'll pedal to the ocean shore, we'll drink some beer and love some more.
