Lyrics
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
