Mother is burning
The animals are dying
The people are homeless
Only ash left in their pockets
We knew this was coming
Now the red sun's upon us
Dogs are howling In the middle of the day
A hole in his head Don't be afraid
This is for the people It is for global trade
He wants to keep digging To keep the light on
But he exports the power Don't be scared,
we have fire now
If you keep digging If you keep digging
You'll be digging our grave
If you keep digging,
digging,
digging
You'll be digging your grave
Life has troubled me Life has troubled you
We had different teachers Who taught us different truths
Will I understand How we got where we are?
But this is more than fact This is a lesson of the heart
We are asking you to be brave Please fight the fire,
put out the flame
This is no longer a rich man's game This
is us losing the place we are living
When I say we,
I mean you too For no one can tell mother what to do
She feels angry,
she's been abused She tried to warn us,
now there's nothing
she can do Mother is burning
And the animals
are dying The children are hopeless
With only ash in their future
If you keep digging
If you keep digging You'll be digging our grave
If you
keep digging,
digging,
digging You'll be digging your grave
If you keep digging If you keep digging
You'll be digging our grave If you keep digging,
digging,
digging
You'll be digging our grave If we keep digging,
digging, digging
