lyrics

Vatic Vintage

Oh, when will you realize?
The old ones told no lies
Speaking of men who sang verse
That made rivers flow in reverse
And caused the winds to rise and rise.
Oh, when will you realize?

Oh when will you take heed?
Nature responds to our deeds:
We’ve been misusing our power
And it’s the eleventh hour.
You reap what you sow ’til you run out of seeds
Unless you take heed.

Oh, when will you take note?
We’ve been like rats on a sinking boat (hey hey)
And the only reason she’s going under
Is that we turn a blind eye to our blunders.
Soon there’ll be nothing left afloat
Unless you take note (and let it sink in).

Do take these notes!

Understand we’re vatic!
Ain’t got toys in the attic (no no...)
We can change this earth’s course (we can change!)
But we must endorse that force.
Can’t you feel the static?
Understand we’re vatic!

Understand we’re vatic
Understand we’re vintage (old school)
Understand we’re vatic (poetic and prophetic)
Understand we’re vintage (futuristic, haha!)
Understand we’re vatic (say, do you understand?)
Understand we’re vintage.
