Why Did You Separate Me from the Earth? lyrics

Why did you separate me from the earth?

Oh my God

Why did you separate me from the earth?

My father

You drew lines miles high

In steel or nuclear

The forests of Borneo

And white water in your mouth

I don't want your future

And I'll never return

I'll be born into the past

I'm never, never coming home

Why did you separate me, me from the earth?

What did you stand to gain?

Why did you separate me from the earth?

The rotten bodies threaded gold

The pitch of hair and sticky meat

The sea life cut with plastic

A white cross gilded gold

A case of white doves

Laying in the boiling snow

A sharp knife of concrete

The blue line of tuna's throat

And I don't want your future

I'm never, never coming home

I don't want your future

I'll be born before you’re born

Why did you separate me, me from the earth?

What did you have to gain?

Why did you separate me from the earth?

What did you have to gain?

Why did you separate me from the earth, from the earth, from the earth, from the earth?

What did you have to gain?
