After Us, The Flood

The weather's just changing, they're exaggerating
Can't change human nature, it's happened before
Why would he adjust? It's a drop in the ocean
We'll simply adapt, they are using this for
More power, besides - fault lies with other nations
And he's not to blame, so why would he keep score?
And if it's God's will he will trust innovation
And head for the stars once the air's breathable

So he kisses his daughter, he kisses his wife
He mutters a prayer and takes hold of the knife
And outside the window the sky's raining blood
He slices the meat
After us, the flood
What is it to me?
After us, the flood

Doesn't it make you sad?
Doesn't it make you sad?
All the time that you thought you had

Doesn't it make you sad?
Doesn't it make you sad?
All the time that you thought you had

The weather's just changing, too bad about the rain
But a new generation won't remember snow
They'll find a solution, a new resolution
He's basically ancient, so what does he know?
Besides, he worked hard, finally reaping the fruits
After decades of scraping by, he's doing well now
So if it's God's will he will trust innovation
And drive his favourite car to the depths of hell

He kisses his daughter, he kisses his wife
He mutters a prayer and takes hold of the knife
And outside the window the sky's raining blood
He slices the meat
After us, the flood

He kisses his daughter, he kisses his wife
(Doesn't it make you sad?)
He mutters a prayer and takes hold of the knife
(Doesn't it make you sad?)
And outside the window the sky's raining blood
There's mold on the bread
After us, the flood
Like I give a damn
After us, the flood

(Our days they are numbered, after us, the flood)
And don't you feel bad all the time that you thought
(Our time it is fleeting, in riches we rot)
The grander your blessings, the lesser the days that we've got
Five, four, three, two, one

He kisses his daughter, he kisses his wife
(Doesn't it make you sad?)
He mutters a prayer and takes hold of the knife
(Doesn't it make you sad?)
And outside the window the sky's raining blood
(All the time that you thought you had)
He slices the meat
After us, the flood

He kisses his daughter, he kisses his wife
(Doesn't it make you sad?)
He brushes her hair and he swats at a fly
(Doesn't it make you sad?)
And outside the window the sky's raining blood
(All the time that you thought you had)
There's mold on the bread
After us, the flood
Like I give a damn
After us, the flood
He slices the meat
After us, the flood
What is it to me?
After us, the flood
