Midnight Oil — Rising Seas

[Intro] Every child put down your toys And come inside to sleep We have to look you in the eye and say we sold you cheap Let's confess we did not act With serious urgency So open up the floodgates To the rising seas [Verse 1] Temperature rising Climate denying Fever is gripping Nobody's listening Lustre is fading Because nobody's trading Wall Street is jumping Still, the music keeps pumping [Pre-Chorus] If you can't decide (Can't decide) Between wrong and right (Wrong and right) If you can't see through (If you can't see through) All that you hold true (Hold true) [Chorus] Queen of the Firmament Lord of all beneath Masters of the Universe We're all refugees And in many countries they adore celebrities Open up the floodgates To the Rising Seas [Verse 2] Dinosaur stories Reliving past glories Lusting for gold F-f-fishing for souls They said it was coming We knew it was a-coming [Pre-Chorus] If you lift your game (If you lift your game) Put your toys away (Toys away) Well it looks like rain (Well it looks like rain) On that Western plain (Western plain) [Chorus] Queen of the Firmament Lord of all beneath Masters of the Universe We're all refugees And in many countries they adore celebrities Open up the floodgates To the Rising Seas
