Wrong Reasons 05:12
lyrics

I feel the flames rising higher Burning their way through my lungs Worship me, watch me dying And welcome your decline I see my world getting smaller With every day you are in here Where can I run for cover? There is nothing left to hide What is on your mind that makes you so greedy? Don’t you overlook the fact that I’m breathing All eyes on you but for the wrong reasons All the world’s your stage but the theatre is burning down I feel my body slowly fading Disappearing into nothingness Watch from afar, keep complaining You’ve welcomed your decline What is on your mind that makes you so greedy? Don’t you overlook the fact that I’m breathing All eyes on you but for the wrong reasons All the world’s your stage but the theatre is burning down What is on your mind that makes you so greedy? Don’t you overlook the fact that I’m breathing All eyes on you but for the wrong reasons All the world’s your stage but the future is burning What is on your mind that makes you so greedy? Don’t you overlook the fact that I’m breathing All eyes on you but for the wrong reasons All the world’s your stage but the theatre is burning down

Back Down to Earth 03:43
lyrics

Blow yourself into space For five minutes of fame Writing history in the worst way I can already hear what descendants will say Back a hundred years there was a chance to change But the egocentric fuckers let it fade away Instead they burnt their money on an ego trip Enough to save a million lives Like who gives a shit? This world is going down while you're going up For five minutes of fame you don't give a fuck! Come back down to earth Come back down to earth I wish you'd never Come back down to earth Come back down to earth Yeah we get it, you're so rich You are living the dream And all the haters are so jealous How obscene! I mean, you're pushing innovations They don't cherish you enough Never understood what they all see in Mother Earth Beam him up, Scotty, so he can look down on us I mean literally, not the way he always does Just imagine all this money blown into the atmosphere Next to trace gas, space trash What a company Damn! Blow yourself into space For five minutes of fame All the money, spent well? For a childish game Come back down to earth Come back down to earth I wish you'd never Come back down to earth Come back down to earth

Only Home 03:45

Just look down I’m right here You keep looking up You don’t hear Don’t loose ground Don’t let your fear Lock you up In paralyzing despair Lasst mich nicht allein Don’t leave me alone I’m your only home Lasst mich nicht allein We say goodbye to the only home we’ve ever known We couldn’t fight all the battles we, ourselves, began The ship is launched and we stare in awe with open mouths Until we realize it won’t come back to pick us up In our despair we destroy the ramp and burn it down Then we head home to the ones we love and care about Our kids, they ask: can’t we try to save what’s left of A? Honestly, Planet B never looked that promising to me While we debate what to do and how we could survive The kids roll up their sleeves, cleaning up the mess we left behind We need to learn our new place in this collapsed world Don’t reach for the stars! Our future is on Planet Earth! Lasst mich nicht allein Don’t leave me alone I’m your only home Just look down I’m right here You keep looking up You don’t hear Don’t loose ground Don’t let your fear Lock you up In paralyzing despair

about

Does the human race have a future on Mars? For us and the next hundred generations the answer is: no. Yet there are many people working on this questionable dream. We are better off putting the effort, money and resources into keeping Planet Earth healthy and livable. Because for for a very very long time it will be our only home.
