While They Last
Verse 1
Today is the day the Earth tips past the point of saving
We had been trying rather hard as a species
But certain of us in charge saw otherwise and threw away our lead
Now we have no choice but to go down with the ship and watch it burn
Or rather, to burn with it.
Pre-Chorus
They took all of our belongings, our gold, our money
“Arbeit macht frei” they said
Then they turned the whole planet into an oven
And cranked it to eleven
Chorus
We’ve gone too far!
There’s nowhere to run!
There’s nowhere to go!
We can’t afford to rebuild from each of these disasters
All we can do is consume one another
And fight for the last habitable spaces—
While they last.
Verse 2
I didn’t think in 2026 we’d be fighting Nazis
Let alone baking in their kilns
Pre-Chorus
They took all of our belongings, our gold, our money
“Arbeit macht frei” they said
Then they turned the whole planet into an oven
And cranked it to eleven!
Chorus
We’ve gone too far!
There’s nowhere to run!
There’s nowhere to go!
We can’t afford to rebuild from each of these disasters
All we can do is consume one another
And fight for the last habitable spaces—
While they last.
Outro
While they last...
Fight for the spaces...
While they last.
