Not My Fault

Verse 1: It's the factories' smoke, it's the cars on the street It's the planes in the sky, it's the plastic at our feet It's the forest that's burning, it's the oil in the sea But don’t look at me, no, don’t look at me Pre-Chorus: It’s the power plants and pipelines, the corporate greed It's the policies and politics that never seem to lead It's the billionaires and business, the systems we've built But I'm not the one, don't place the guilt Chorus: I didn't cause the floods, I didn't light the flames I didn't break the ice, I'm not the one to blame I didn't scorch the earth or darken the skies Don't point your fingers, don’t tell me lies Not my fault, not my fight I'm just living my life Verse 2: It's the endless consumption, the waste we ignore It's the way that we live, always wanting more It's the oceans that rise, it's the droughts that we see But it’s not me, no, it’s not me Pre-Chorus: It’s the factories and fracking, the emission streams It's the habits of the masses, the American dream It's the laws that we make, it's the truth we disguise But I'm not the one, don’t believe the lies Chorus: I didn't cause the floods, I didn't light the flames I didn't break the ice, I'm not the one to blame I didn't scorch the earth or darken the skies Don't point your fingers, don’t tell me lies Not my fault, not my fight I'm just living my life Bridge: But deep down I wonder, could it be true? Do I play a part, is there something I do? Could I make a change, could I turn the tide? Or will I stay hidden, with nothing to hide? Chorus: I didn't cause the floods, I didn't light the flames I didn't break the ice, I'm not the one to blame I didn't scorch the earth or darken the skies But maybe it's time to open my eyes Not my fault, not my fight But maybe, just maybe, I can make it right Outro: It's the factories' smoke, it's the cars on the street It's the choices we make, every little heartbeat It's the world that we share, it's the future we see And maybe, just maybe, it starts with me
