Lyrics
The Accident
1995/2025
Sunshine streaming through the clouds, greets another day
Building standing empty, not a sound along the way
Drifting smell of Mankind, rising from the decay
The breeze is blowing softly, and it seems to say
It's just Another Commercial accident
Forgive us for what we
It's all in the name of progress
A better life for me and You
The rain is gently misting, falling to the ground
Coming from the Stratosphere, bridging radiation down
Dioxin is arising, seeping from the ground
Now I must ask you? How much longer will we be around?
It's just Another Commercial accident
Forgive us for what we
It's all in the name of progress
A better life for me and You
Their Only God, is Money
Greed, is their cry
So why must we keep on dying
So the money falls from the sky
