Angry Planet - New Model Army

I live on an angry planet, amidst the crowds and the endless noise

In the debris of the broken families and the cracks in the grand designs

And all the angry gods are back, gathering strength as the continents collide

Some live by the bloody sword and die by the bloody sword, some by beauty and

desire

I live in the shadow of the great volcano, I live by the good soil and the fire

And of course I know that the days are numbered but we will go down to the wire

And the pressure moves the mountains, seven billion and counting

As the monkey tribes advance across the bleak terrain

All sown with seed of mono-culture, wind and rain and revolution coming

But we know it isn’t personal — we just live on an angry planet

They say that we’re all kings and queens in the new world except for those who

aren’t

They say we can follow our dreams to the very top of the tree except for those

who can’t

They say that the meek shall inherit the earth except that they shan’t

And the pressure moves the mountains, seven billion and counting

As the monkey tribes advance, all in a rush of blood, the jet stream blowing

High above the zombie hordes all banging war drums, raising flags

As the pressure moves the mountains, seven billion now and counting

As the monkey tribes advance across the ruined land

All sown with seed of mono-culture, war and rain and revolution coming

But I know it isn’t personal — I just live on an angry planet
