John Butler Trio - The Sea is Rising lyrics

[Hook: Bliss n Eso] And all I know is the sun is shining Yet we fight on through the night While the 'burgs are melting and the sea is rising I don't know so I ask them why [Verse 1: Bliss] Yeah, why are they refusing to listen Why are these troops on a mission And why are they shooting these victims over their view on religion Yeah why do we all search for love like we got cupids addiction Why with politicians you can't tell the truth from the fiction Why do we pollute where we're living Why are these youth put at risk And why is this ruling dominion kept us consumed in this prison I won't jump through the hoops of this system Nothing stands between you and the pursuit of your vision I grab a loop of this rhythm it's puts the juice in my pistons So jump back, react spit in the booth with precision When I'm cruising with ism' yeah I'm dueceing the spliff It's a BnE show b**h getting loose was a given I don't want them to look back when the future was written And know we k**ed ourselves with nuclear fission and stupid decisions sh** I'd rather an asteroid due for collision then know the planet got f**ed by the human condition Sing the tune with conviction! [Hook: Bliss n Eso] And all I know is the sun is shining Yet we fight on through the night While the 'burgs are melting and the sea is rising I don't know so I ask them why And all I know is the sun is shining Yet we fight on through the night Well if you don't know sh** I don't know I guess all we can do is ask them why [Verse 2: Eso] Yeah I'm an old school poet, yeah, yo, yo, yo Yeah I'm an old school poet, I cherish the ink That cosmic cowboy that doesn't care what they think Real magic isn't card tricks big cribs and cars b**h It's making something out of nothing through this hardship And even though that the earth is weak We still bomb each other and idol what the churches speak It's like this land is either run by labour or liberal But don't get it twisted they're the same as the criminals So open your eyes simply notice the issue That we stuck to our guns without promoting the pistol We only orchestrated the sound that we all love Split because of colour but bound because of blood So before we all blow and they sell the scene Know that the only thing that's bullet proof is my self esteem See this is way beyond cash, and ego tripping it's an epic electric Eso ecosystem Grow with me! [Hook: Bliss n Eso] And all I know is the sun is shining Yet we fight on through the night While the 'burgs are melting and the sea is rising I don't know so I ask them why And all I know is the sun is shining Yet we fight on through the night Well if you don't know sh** I don't know I guess all we can do is ask them why I don't have to tell you things are bad Everybody knows things are bad Pollutions recognise the icecaps are melting quick Kids trust no one and why else would they The air is unfit to breathe, our food is unfit to eat It's an inferno land, pollutions recognise the icecaps are melting quick f** all that sh**; we are here together in this country as one As f**ing one! It's all about peace, love and unity Sing it, peace, love and unity [Hook: Bliss n Eso] And all I know is the sun is shining Yet we fight on through the night While the 'burgs are melting and the sea is rising I don't know so I ask them why And all I know is the sun is shining Yet we fight on through the night Well if you don't know sh** I don't know I guess all we can do is ask them why [Spoken Outro]
