lyrics

How do you live with conscience
In a society built upon violence?
When your tax money goes to a government
That sanctions genocide on every continent.
How many millions murdered in Vietnam?
How do you live with yourself, knowing what's going on?
(What's going on? What's going on?)

Weather Underground
Can you shake the system without making a sound?
Weather Underground
How hot is the handle, will it all come crashing down?

In a society of passive violence,
Everyone participates by withholding resistance
How do you live with yourself knowing
that your government is actively genociding
The planet to protect your economy
So that you can buy freely anything that you see.
(If you can afford it, can't be poor to support it.)

Weather Underground
Can you shake the system without making a sound?
Weather Underground
How hot is the handle, will it all come crashing down?

30 years later, you inspire me
Connecting to your consience, actively, actively.
Participating in a global movement
(Of Revolution to Topple the Establishment)
For good or bad, regrets aside -
At least you stood with your heart's stride.
(And empathized with the oppressed.)

Weather Underground
Giving voice to the Oppressed the whole world round.
Weather Underground
Bombing targets without killing what a beautiful sound.

As of now, seems like little has changed.
Forest defenders targeted by deranged
Corporate sponsored government officials
who don't see trees when they look at old growth
all they see is money.
So we'll destroy our fragile ecosystems.
Fuck the planet. Fuck our souls, we'll all get rich quick.
