Pogues - 5 Green Queens & Jean lyrics

Breathe!

Corporate causes with self-served denial

The raping of the land

Collapse

The lungs malfunction

They never learned to breathe

Breathe!

Rusted syringes and half-thought disposal

A burial at sea

Waste water graveyard

Swimming in disease

Breathe!

This is the world

It’s not working

This is this earth

Breathe! breathe, you fucker!

Children gasping the second-hand air

Death and desperation

We’ve got to cut the lies with truth

We breathe

Breathe!

This is the world

The clock’s ticking

Is this this earth?

Breathe! breathe, you fucker!

Hope springs eternal but there’s no conviction

Action mistaken for ransom is paid

All this concern is the true contradiction

The world is insane

Breathe!

This is the world

It’s got no future

Is this this earth?

Breathe! breathe, you fucker!
