And all I know is the sun is shining, yet we fight on through the night While the burgs are melting and the sea is rising I don't know so I ask them why Yeah, why are they refusing to listen Why are these troops on a mission And why are they shooting these victims over their view on religion Yeah why do we all search for love like we got cupids addiction Why with politicians you can't tell the truth from the fiction Why do we pollute where were living Why are these youth put at risk And why is this fool on dominion kept us consumed in this prison I won't jump through the hoops of this system Nothing stands between you and the pursuit of your vision I grab a loop of this rhythm it's puts the juice in my pistons So jump back, react spit in the boots with precision When I'm cruising with ism' yeah I'm doosing the splif It's a BNE show bitch getting loose was a given I don't want them to look back when the future was written And know we killed ourselves with nuclear vision and stupid decisions Shit I'd rather an asteroid due for collision then know the planet got fucked by the human condition Sing the tune with conviction! All I know is the sun is shining yet we fight on thought the night While the burgs are melting and the sea is rising I don't know so I ask them why And all I know is the sun is shining yet we fight on through the night Well if you don't know shit I don't know I guess all we can do is ask them why Yeah I'm an old school poet I cherish the ink That cosmic cowboy that doesn't care what they think Real magic isn't card tricks big cribs and cars bitch It's making something out of nothing through this hardship And even though we know that the earth is weak We still bomb each other and idol what the churches speak It's like this land is either run by Labour or Liberal But don't get entwisted their the same as the criminals Open your eyes simply notice the issue That we stuck to our guns without promoting the pistol We only orchestrated the sound that we all love Split because of colour but bound because of blood So before we all blow and they sell the scene Know that the only thing that's bullet proof is my self esteem See this is way beyond cash, and ego tripping it's an epic electric eso ecosystem Grow with me! All I know is the sun is shining yet we fight on thought the night While the burgs are melting and the sea is rising I don't know so I ask them why And all I know is the sun is shining yet we fight on through the night Well if you don't know shit I don't know I guess all we can do is ask them why I don't have to tell you things are bad Everybody knows things are bad Pollutions recognize the icecaps are melting quick Kids trust no one and why else would they The air is unfit to breathe, our food is unfit to eat It's an inferno land, pollutions recognize the icecaps are melting quick F*ck all that shit, we are here together in this country as one As fucking one! It's all about peace, love and unity Sing it, peace, love and unity All I know is the sun is shining yet we fight on thought the night While the burgs are melting and the sea is rising I don't know so I ask them why And all I know is the sun is shining yet we fight on through the night Well if you don't know shit I don't know I guess all we can do is ask them why
