I live on an angry planet Amidst the crowds and the endless noise In the debris of the broken families And the cracks in the grand designs And all the angry gods are back Gathering strength as the continents collide
Some live by the bloody sword And die by the bloody sword, some by beauty and desire I live in the shadow of the great volcano I live by the good soil and the fire And of course I know That the days are numbered But we will go down to the wire
And the pressure moves the mountains Seven billion and counting As the monkey tribes advance across the bleak terrain All sown with seed of mono-culture Wind and rain and revolution coming But we know it isn't personal We just live on an angry planet
They say that we're all kings and queens In the new world except for those who aren't They say we can follow our dreams To the very top of the tree except for those who can't They say that the meek shall inherit the earth Except that they shan't
And the pressure moves the mountains Seven billion and counting As the monkey tribes advance All in a rush of blood, the jet stream blowing High above the zombie hordes All banging war drums, raising flags As the pressure moves the mountains Seven billion now and counting As the monkey tribes advance across the ruined land All sown with seed of mono-culture War and rain and revolution coming But I know it isn't personal - I just live on an angry planet
