Lyrics and translation
Original
Yeah, it took me so long.
Hmm.
Dandelions and pickled vegetables.
Swim in the ocean, or what's left of her.
Hmm.
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my.
Wonderful petrichor, no more.
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my.
I implore, oh, I implore.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Yeah, fiddle me, dog.
Help me, Lord. Help me, Lord. Help me, Lord. Help me, Lord.
They burnin' the planet down.
They burnin' the planet down, Lord. Help me, Lord.
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my. The chemicals, chemicals, too many chemicals, uh.
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my. Losing our minerals, criminal mineral.
Help me, Lord.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Rawr.
They burnin' the planet down. No more second linin' in the street.
They burnin' the planet down, Lord. Help me, Lord.
No more plants for you to eat.
They burnin' the planet down. Hot coals underneath your feet. Good God!
They burnin' the planet down, Lord. Help me, Lord.
Oh.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm.
