lyrics
Let’s plan it out, we’ll move underground
Let’s get out of here, forget about the atmosphere
I’m calling out to you, I’m crawling out of my skin
And I can’t see, baby now I can’t breathe
Don’t blame it on me, blame it on the 5G technology
Don’t blame it on me, blame it on the 5G technology
Praise be to he who can metabolize the dirt
Survive 200 degrees, for he shall inherit the earth
The sky is pink, the ocean water stinks
It leaves a greasy mark and it glows in the dark
There’s no more leaves on the ash-white trees
And no one to care about the sulphur air
Sun never sets, because it always reflects
In the atmosphere, the stars have disappeared
Now all that’s left, I say now all that’s left
Are the cockroaches and tardigrades
Don’t blame it on me, blame it on the 5G technology
Don’t blame it on me, blame it on the 5G technology
Praise be to he who can metabolize the dirt
Survive 200 degrees, for he shall inherit the earth
Praise be to he who can metabolize the dirt
Survive 200 degrees, for he shall inherit the earth
Don’t blame it on me, blame it on the 5G technology
Don’t blame it on me, blame it on the 5G technology
