about

Lyrically, this track comes from a realisation that most of the problems facing humanity just now are of our own making and that we have to have a different relationship with the World and living things on it.

lyrics

Put your arms around the world and cool it down
Put your arms around the world and cool it down

Treat it like an enemy, we have done for so long
Cut it down, enslave it, like we don’t care where it’s from
Chuck stuff in the rivers, throw it in the sea
Bury all our principles, make it about me

Lie about the science if it gives me what I need
Porky pies ‘bout everything just barefaced corporate greed
Look how we treat each other as a guide to where we’re at
Forest plants don’t stand a chance ‘gainst a society like that

Put your arms around the world and cool it down
Put your arms around the world and cool it down

Lie lie lie about the impact that we cause
Blame the cows and blame the poor, aint breaking any laws
Lie about the aeroplanes and lie about the cars
We don’t care if the impact’s there, the legacy’s not ours

Put your arms around the world and cool it down
Put your arms around the world and cool it down
