A D

Verse

When our rivers run dry and our crops cease to grow

And when our summers grow longer and winters won't snow

  From the banks of the ocean and the ice in the hills

  To the fight in the desert where progress stands still

  When we've lost our will

Chorus

  That's how we'll know

  This is not a test, oh no

  This is cardiac arrest

  Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes

  We're crashing into the ground as we all fall from grace

Verse

When the air that we breathe becomes air that we choke

When the marsh fever spreads from the swamps to our homes

  When your home on the range has been torn down and paved and

  The buffalo roam to a slaughterhouse grave

  What more will it take

Chorus

  For us to know

  This is not a test, oh no

  This is cardiac arrest

  Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes

  Kissing the ground as we all fall from grace

Bridge

This is a chance to set things straight

To bend or break the rules back into place

There is no middle ground, no compromise, we've drawn the line

  With perfect aim, we stand back and throw

  Glass windows break and it's all about to blow

  Lights go out as we pass the torch again

  In hope that it stays lit

Solo

  Neutrality means that you don't really care

  Cause the struggle goes on even when you're not there

  Blind and unaware

Chorus

  That's how we'll know

  This is not a test, oh no

  This is cardiac arrest

  Of a world too proud to admit our mistakes

  We're crashing into the ground as we all, yeah we all, all fall from grace
