Orangutan 03:14
Orangutan My friend the Orangutan he don’t know what to do My friend the Orangutan he don’t know what to do Maybe he’d be better off living in a zoo Maybe he’d be better off living in a zoo They’re cutting down his forest home They’re cutting down his forest home So they can grow more palm oil for the needs of me and you So they can grow more palm oil for the needs of me and you You know that Orang means person And hutan is forest So Orangutan is not so far from me and you So Orangutan is not so far from me and you
2.
Cancer 02:23
Cancer The world is sick And it’s killing us one by one Poison in the rivers Poison in the blood The air is thick So difficult to breathe Chocking out the sun Heavy in our lungs Our food sustains us Or maybe it’s killing us Processed for convenience Fast food for fast lives
3.
The things that make me cry A lover’s kiss by moonlight A smile on a summer’s day The proud moments of parenthood And the memory of their birth I’m not afraid of my feelings I’m not afraid to let them show These are the things that make me cry I don’t know I don’t know why Some things are happy and some things are sad Some things are good and some things are bad I remember my parents And I miss them now that they are gone Happy days from my childhood When life was carefree and fun Watching those romantic movies In the arms of the one you love Feeling safe in home comfort So many others far worse off
4.
FFS 03:59
FFS If it wasn’t for the TV news I might have never heard About the atrocities Committed in the world You know it’s getting me down All the negativity and bad vibes I don’t hear your laughter Like I used to hear For fucks sake give us a break man For fucks sake give us a break man Artificial intelligence is telling me What they want me to believe Well I’m not buying it Not for the life of me The voices are screaming For someone to listen to them And the paint on the walls A permanent scar of desperation Why can’t we be grown up - or act like we are And find a resolution - to this situation Political point scoring - feeding your ego What is it with mankind Hell bent on destruction As the planet keeps on spinning Around the sun
5.
Blind in one eye You may be blind In one eye But you still see the fairy folk But you still see the fairy folk And you see All things are equal in your sight All things are equal in your sight As the world turns a blind eye Pretending not to see All the death and destruction All the pain and disease So you walk past a homeless man Sleeping on the street And you turn your blind eye So you don’t have to see
6.
Comfort Zone 03:11
Comfort zone Half the world is burning And half the world is drowning We all live in our comfort zone We all live in our comfort zone At the slightest discomfort We moan and groan At the slightest discomfort We moan and groan They got fire and rain They got disease and pain We got money and food As much as we can consume
7.
Thirteenth floor I know that it might be something of a climb But I’ll take the stairs if you don’t mind When we get there and overcome the risks Only then we’ll realise that it does not exist The mythical beast is waiting The one that eats the plastic And cleans up all the oceans And keeps them free from debris Who do you think cleans up all your mess Your fast food wrappers blowing in the breeze Plastic bottles on the oceans now ride To litter all our beaches on the tide As the sunlight fades to darkness And out the night creatures they crawl The man who serves the man who saves the planet Is the man that no one ever saw ‘Cause he’s the mythical beast The one you trust in blindly Now the world is waking To the threat of our own making
8.
What is it that I’m feeling Some night when I cannot sleep I try to find the reason why Why it is I feel this way Or what it is that I’m feeling Perhaps I miss the one I love Perhaps my heart is grieving Alone at night I watch the moon Who knows who I’m deceiving Then finding sleep I dream Of eastern skies and mountain streams And dark eyes and wonder Why am I still here
9.
Death / How do you feel In the great expanse of time We are one breath Or one blink of an eye But each of us leave our mark A footprint in the sands of time The new life we brought into the world No man or woman is immune To us all death will come So we must leave behind those we love And through the grief remember The good times and smile And hold forever those memories in our hearts How do you feel Is it all real Or is it a show To be trendy and cool Your voice on the street For what you believe Or is it just Caught in the rush What’s the world coming to I don’t recognise me or you We’re lost in the crowd And it’s all going down Looking for any excuse Just to let your feelings run loose
10.
Age of anger (Part 1) We may be living in a strange age Where nobody knows where we’re going The momentum is gaining to save the world From our own determination to destroy it If the general masses won’t listen Then the few who care will take action I don’t know if it’s the right thing to do ‘cause nothing can be achieved with anger We’re living in the age of anger Despite all our peaceful intensions Maybe it’s what’s needed to shake the tree And see what falls to the ground
11.
Age of anger (Part 2) You walked the streets That you thought were paved with gold But you found that you were walking On a beach of sand But surely that’s a better place to be Away from the trap that’s called security Feeling alive and feeling free Don’t look back on the old you Chase the bitter feelings from your heart There’s a better state of being There’s a better you There’s a better you Don’t get caught up in the rage Don’t let then trick you into believing That it’s the normal way to be It’s just the anger of the age Now walk the road that leads you to your dream And share the things that you hold so close For love and friendship have more value Than a fool and all his gold
12.
Why 03:18
Why I feel like I’m drifting on an open sea Wondering where I fit in in society I wanted to change the world But the world changed me Why is there so much conflict in the world Why is there so much pain Why are there still children dying Why do we have to fight another war Why are we so blind to the future Why can’t we see what we have done Why is there still fear and hatred Why can’t we find harmony and peace I’m not sure that I can take anymore This is not what I signed up for Now I’m looking for the get out clause
