Apron Strings

[Verse 1]
Overpopulation
Shrinking up the land
Takin' food from my hand
The hard-nosed entrepreneur
And his black gold beneath the sea
Killing all and everything
We once owned the coastline
And now the global street
Takes it from beneath our feet
We've lived the good days
The present is alright
But the future ain't looking too bright

[Chorus]
I have a son
So innocent and clean
Open up your clear blue eyes
To see this dirty world
And make of it
What you see fit, baby
We ain't hеre for a long time
We'rе just here for a good time

[Post-Chorus]
We're ruinin' it
For those yet to come
For the lives that have just begun
For those who can't help it
We turn a blind eye and take it

[Verse 2]
Things ain't the same
Surely you've noticed?
Your ignorance is bliss
And our mother earth
Is nearly at her end
Can we still make amends?
Resources depleted
Where do we turn to next?
Falling hard from the apex
Our lasting impression
On the earth we leave behind
Unlivable for the rest of mankind

[Chorus]
I have a girl
My precious little girl
I'll pull those apron strings
Keep you close to my heart
I'll let you go
When time make me so, baby
Cause they ain't here for a long time
They just here for a good time

[Post-Chorus]
We're ruinin' it
For those yet to come
For the lives that have just begun
For those who can't help it
We turn a blind eye and take it

[Outro]
I have a child
So innocent and clean
Open up your clear blue eyes
To see this dirty world
And make of it
What you see fit, baby
We ain't here for a long time
We're just here for a good time
