ADDICTED TO CHAOS

He’s got years on me 'n an small apartment

He’s grumpy 'n wondering just where the years went

But I see in his old eyes a long life ‘n his fight

‘N I’m familiar with the silence he must feel at night

On a walk today I saw her sleeping under the sky

Tucked in with some leaves a shopping cart close by

What do I eat where do I lay my head each night

I check my privilege ‘n pride try not to wince at the site

I bite my tongue hard my ears start to buzz

The world’s getting heavy nothing’s as it was

I cling to my dream a utopian feast

We're livin' in a sci-fi movie I pray for a little peace

The ocean stores our plastic coral reefs are dying

Forests are burnin' trees 'n animals crying

Mother Earth's screaming "You just don't care"

Profit matters most not the planet not the air

World's gone mad in a race against time

More war more oil ‘n legislative crime

More space flight 'n AI just for speed

More political lies for votes ‘n for greed

I bite my tongue hard my ears start to buzz

The world’s getting heavy nothing’s as it was

I cling to my dream a utopian feast

We're livin' in a sci-fi movie I pray for a little peace

We’re all scrolling headlines staring at our screens

Addicted to the chaos what does it all mean

I bite my tongue hard my ears start to buzz

The world’s getting heavy nothing’s as it was

I cling to my dream a utopian feast

We're livin' in a sci-fi movie I pray for a little peace

I cling to my dream a utopian feast

We're livin' in a sci-fi movie I pray for a little peace
