The man at the top has no name
The man at the top, he has no shame
The earth beneath our feet is writhing in pain
The ocean's edge begins to climb
The clouds are forming, the change denied
They've outlawed words
Who are we to blame?
Who are we to blame?
Every day is feeling like a movie
The kind where the plot is mostly gloomy
Where did we go wrong and what should we believe?
We raise our flags and speak our minds
But the institution left us behind
Cutting rungs from the ladder they told us to climb
Who are we to blame?
Who are we to blame?
The water's poison, the air not much better
Oh and look now, inclement weather
Who are we to blame?
Who are we to blame?
