“Turning on each other distracts us from finding the real solutions...
[Verse 1]
The planet's getting pretty hot
I don't know how long we've got
And the government is DUI
Watch them roll, pass you by
[Pre-Chorus]
But I pull myself up
Have a good time
Break bread, maybe get a little high
Would a video change your mind tonight?
[Chorus]
I don't wanna be the dragon, no
I don't wanna drag you down (drag you down)
I just wanna love my neighbour, yeah
I just wanna work it out (work it out)
I just wanna work it out
I just wanna work it out
[Verse 2]
Never seen the Amazon
I just know it's almost gone
And my generation has to pay
For all the sins of yesterday
[Pre-Chorus]
But I pull myself up
Have a good time
Break bread, maybe get a little high
Would a video change your mind tonight?
(Tonight, tonight, tonight)
[Chorus]
I don't wanna be the dragon, no
I don't wanna drag you down (drag you down)
I just wanna love my neighbour, yeah
I just wanna work it out (work it out)
I just wanna work it out
Yeah I just wanna work it out
[Outro]
I don't wanna be the dragon, no
I don't wanna be the dragon, no, no
I just wanna work it out
