Driving Driving Driving Lyrics - Thunder Thighs - Kimya Dawson

I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but I read blogs by scientists 

And I believe they know, more than we are being told 

By the mainstream media sources who want the truth to hold its horses 

so there isn't mass hysteria as the sea floor erodes 

 

And those in and on the ocean all say hey what's this commotion 

and they try to get away but they are moving in slow motion 

because their bodies are so heavy from a substance thick and deadly 

they say I don't want to die It's all your fault I wasn't ready 

 

I'm so sorry and I'm scared and sad and mad and unprepared 

to see the stuff that's in the sea evaporate into the air 

where it will gather and form clouds that travel north upon the wind 

and drop their cool refreshing poison raindrops on our crops and children. 

 

So this may be the end I've always thought the end of man 

would be exactly what we need for the earth to stand a chance 

And I always thought I would be fine If this happened if my lifetime 

But now that I'm a mother it is really terrifying 

 

And I've always identified with a turtle's soft insides 

Because there are times when I really need to hide 

But even the strongest, toughest, thickest shell is not designed 

to survive, to survive, to survive 

 

Something of this magnitude 

 

Because water is fluid and oil is crude 

 

And it billows way down deep and it sticks to grains of sand 

And it floats upon the surface where the birds all try to land 

And it's ruining the marshes ecosystems are destroyed 

And the people all along the Gulf Coast are now unemployed 

 

While the men who cut the corners still scream DRILL, DRILL, DRILL 

from their yachts far away and their mansions on the hill 

And they turn away the cameras and scream KILL, KILL, KILL 

As they burn endangered sea turtles alive 

 

They're burning turtles alive 

 

And the seas are all connected, And we are all connected 

And you're living in denial if you think you won't be affected 

You can't hide behind your flag because water knows no border 

It will creep in every crevice it'll seep in every pore 

 

They lie about the damage the solutions are illusions 

There's no cover up big enough to hide this huge a contusion 

On the face of our mother, yeah that's right, mother earth 

Is the cost of every living thing what your product is worth? 

 

We are all afflicted with an underground addiction 

Learned desire for convenience be the cause of our extinction? 

And the industry's the master and we are all the slaves 

and we're DRIVING, DRIVING, DRIVING to our GRAVES, GRAVES, GRAVES 

The industry's the master and we are all the slaves 

And we're DRIVING, DRIVING, DRIVING to our GRAVES, GRAVES, GRAVES 

 

We must teach our kids to love themselves and let them live their lives 

What will they be if they grow up? Whatever they like. 

It's crucial to raise children who don't do what they're told 

Who will fight for what's right and who can't be bought or sold 

 

I want nothing of this business I am staying underground 

And I'm gonna ride the railroad and let my guard down 

We can forage, and ride bikes, and jump in lakes, and go on hikes 

We can sing and sing for hours and click LIKE, LIKE, LIKE 

 

When somebody posts something good we share and spread the truth 

It's time to define what success means to you 

I hope my kid will never be another cog in their machine 

Trapped inside a box trying to remember her dreams 

 

They will sell us all out for their GREED, GREED, GREED 

As we cry for the earth while she BLEEDS, BLEEDS, BLEEDS 

 

So hold on to your loved ones, hold on for dear life 

Try to walk like thunder leaving footprints that are light 

Hold on to your loved ones, hold on for dear life 

Try to walk like thunder leaving footprints that are light 

Hold on to your loved ones; hold on for dear life 

Try to walk like thunder leaving footprints that are light 

Hold on to your loved ones, hold on for dear life 

Try to walk like thunder leaving footprints that are light
