Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I breathe in smoke from a distant flame
The sky’s on fire but we play the game
Plastic oceans, melting time
We dance while nature drops the sign

[Verse 2]
I taught my kids to recycle shame
While we fly first class into blame
I plant a tree, then scroll away
Hope’s a hashtag we delay

[Pre-Chorus]
We lit the match
Now we dance in the smoke
We lit the match
Now we dance in the smoke
We lit the match
Now we dance in the smoke

[Chorus]
Climate out of control
We lost the wheel, we sold the soul
I scream in storms, I cry in heat
But silence is what we repeat
Climate control is out of control
And we’re still turning up the beat

[SOLO]

[Verse 3]
I saw a glacier in a viral clip
It cracked like truth from a guilty lip
I shared it once, then moved along
But the damage plays a longer song

[Verse 4]
I bought green shoes with blood in thread
Eco-labels on a planet dead
I want to change, but I want ease
I want the cure without disease

[Pre-Chorus]
We lit the match
Now we dance in the smoke
We lit the match
Now we dance in the smoke
We lit the match
Now we dance in the smoke

[Chorus]
Climate out of control
We lost the wheel, we sold the soul
I scream in storms, I cry in heat
But silence is what we repeat
Climate control is out of control
And we’re still turning up the beat

[Verse 5]
I heard a child sing through the haze
A lullaby for better days
Her voice cut through the carbon rain
And made me feel the cost of pain

[Pre-Chorus]
We lit the match
Now we dance in the smoke
We lit the match
Now we dance in the smoke
We lit the match
Now we dance in the smoke

[Chorus]
Climate out of control
We lost the wheel, we sold the soul
I scream in storms, I cry in heat
But silence is what we repeat
Climate out of control
And we’re still turning up the beat
