Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's pouring in California, swimming cars down avenues Plastic islands in the ocean, and we're drinking it too We ate through the Auk, now we're chewing through trees Poisoned the Ohio, we're a mean disease [Pre-Chorus] We've gotten so hungry, hungry hands, hungry eyes We're worse than the locust, no twig left behind We dig up what's buried, it's dark what we do Exhume all the fossils, burn skeletons for fuel [Chorus] You can't hold your breath for the rest of your life You can't hold your breath for the rest of your life This is the rest of your life [Verse 2] We drained eleven plants plus into the Delaware They say it's safe to drink the water, it isn't, but who cares? It's pouring in California, more brush for wilder fires The amount of chemical in the air's getting higher [Chorus] You can't hold your breath for the rest of your life You can't hold your breath for the rest of your life It's not safer inside [Bridge] We'll all have cancer, don't matter who smoked You think it's tough now to swallow, wait till it scrapes against your throat Real estate's going quick, the migration's begun But wherever we live will be too lethal to live on [Chorus] You can't hold your breath for the rest of your life There's nowhere to run, there's nowhere to hide It's not safer inside [Outro] We're running out of time
