Lyrics

I didn't ask for this, but you didn't ask me

So is this your idea of equality

Can someone help me? Can someone set me free

Can someone hear me? Do you see what I see


Terra, Mother Gaya

Call me what you want but don't set me on fire

Now did you forget who made you?

You twist and turn what I gave to you

What you do to my roots

Burn fossil fuels, ruled by the

Cruelty of patriarchy

Return to the matriarchy

Schools won't teach you how to love me

Corporations put cars above me

Making bad biopics about me

Spills and floods, typhoons and droughts, B

You draw lines and colonize

My body, but look through my eyes

I weep and y'all just call it bad rain

But all too soon you'll share my pain


I didn't ask for this, but you didn't ask me

So is this your idea of equality

Can someone help me? Can someone set me free

Can someone hear me? Do you see what I see


Roar! I'm a dinosaur

Using me for fuel, y’all say "gimme some more"

You take, you burn, don't even think twice

But whatcha gonna do when my cousins run dry

Cash it in, die a little within

Overlooking the planet for our next of kin

Wonderin' why the air's so thin

And why greed is a 7 deadly sin

All for one and one for all

Is lost on the people that do not crawl

On dirt, on pavement, hard working

For a planet others are deserting

If I was alive I'd eat at you

And spit you back out, overlooking the truth

A comet didn't fall out of the sky

Because it was lonely and wanted to say hi (wake up!)


I didn't ask for this, but you didn't ask me

So is this your idea of equality

Can someone help me? Can someone set me free

Can someone hear me? Do you see what I see


What you gonna do about poor people

No money or resources, so horrible

Polluted water to feed our souls

Gimme some more

Acid air in our ghetto holes

Gimme some more

Turning paper planes into shooting stars

Oil burns our view from afar

Shutting it down

Misunderstanding all around

Burned out skies, burned out Sun

That’s the future I’m leaving for my son

Burned out trees, smoke some weed

That’s the only plant that we know how to feed

Wild fire, used tire

That's getting us pumped but we all tired

Merchandise black gold, gimme some more

Proper education? Bullshit some more


I didn't ask for this, but you didn't ask me

So is this your idea of equality

Can someone help me? Can someone set me free

Can someone hear me? Do you see what I see

I didn't ask for this, but you didn't ask me

So is this your idea of equality

Can someone help me? Can someone set me free

Can someone hear me? Do you see what I see
