built the wheel,
created steam
Locomotive manned machines
Cleared the forest, paved in concrete roads
We built our walls up to the sky
Drained all the rivers dry
Dug our mines and built our factory
It's been waiting here so long
Now falling like a domino
Where did we all go wrong?
Providing for us
Now falling like a domino
Where do we go when it's gone?
When it's gone, when it's gone
Emperors and mighty kings
Not so wise in many things
Histories stand to count for
all their own
Conquering of ancient tribes
Slavery and genocide
Countless blooded souls
lost to the wolves
It's been waiting here so long
Now falling like a domino
Where did we all go wrong?
Providing for us
Now falling like a domino
Where do we go when it's gone?
When it's gone, when it's gone
Let's be gone from now on
Don't complain when it's gone
We mined the forest, we bought the coal, drew the blood from the soil,
we pumped the earth empty of its oil.
Drivin' cars and flyin' planes, farmers prayin' for the rain,
ice sheets fallin' slowly to the sea.
Let's be gone from the heart
Don't complain when it's gone
It's been waiting here so long,
now falling like a domino
Where did we all go wrong?
Provided for us,
now falling like a domino
Where do we go when it's gone?
When it's gone, when it's gone
When it's gone, when it's gone
When it's gone, when it's gone
When it's gone, when it's gone
When it's gone, when it's gone
When it's gone, when it's gone
When it's gone, when it's gone
When it's gone, when it's gone
When it's gone, when it's gone
