lyrics

What am i writing to you for
you've never heard of me before
I write with matters of the gravest concern
to you up in your highrise
in the boardrooms of the city skies
I know we live in different worlds
but it's the same world

We've got to keep it in the ground

Now the survey ships have gone
and left a question weighing heavy down
out on the seas of our horison
Well what if by mistake
the lines are breached all hell escapes
dousing all in the oil
that should never have been burnt

We've got to keep it in the ground

Commodities fall and rise
they'll burn dollar signs in your eyes
pleading to sell the land
sell the seas sell the skies
And I presume your a clever man
so what I cannot understand
is how you imagine our future

We've got to keep it in the ground
