lyrics

We’re at fault, that’s a fact that we all can see
Denial is unsustainable hypocrisy
And it’s all for the wealth of our economy
While the rest of the world drowns in poverty
And we hold up the flag of democracy
Tied up to the hammer of slavery
But we still can decide who we want to be
If we’re part of this blinkered society
That silently hunts and silently kills
In the name of a god called the dollar bill
And that doesn’t even know what’s beyond the hill
Made of gossip and self-doubt packed in plastic film
There is no time to waste and you can not confide
In the white fat old men who will mainly decide
For the good of the company that pays him right
It is us who must now make a change in our lives

I won’t wait until the world awakes
Because on that day it will be too late
And the devil may care for us
Devil may care for us but
I don’t believe in hell
I can feel there’s a need to appeal
To the people that matter, not to the upper class heroes
And the devil may care for them
Devil may care for them but
I don’t believe in hell

We’re at fault, that’s a fact that we all can see
Denial is unsustainable hypocrisy
And it’s all for the wealth of our economy
While the rest of the world drowns in poverty
And we try to place responsibility
On unmanned and self-taught machinery
So we don’t have to show solidarity
With the people who suffer to enable our weal

I won’t wait ‘til the world awakes
On that day it will be too late

I won’t wait until the world awakes
Because on that day it will be too late
And the devil may care for us
Devil may care for us but
I don’t believe in hell

I won’t wait until the world awakes
Because on that day it will be too late
And the devil may care for us
Devil may care for us but
I don’t believe in hell
I can feel there’s a need to appeal
To the people that matter, not to the upper class heroes
And the devil may care for them
Devil may care for them but
I don’t believe in hell
