lyrics

3rd rock is Hot, rock is hot
Tryin to fly away, sky looking like a parking lot 
When the billionaires outnumber the astronauts
Who really has the final say when it’s time to stop 
Sims simmer... we're living in a melting pot
Getting hotter as we’re driving or collecting art
From the flying to the shopping, even farming this is common
You ain’t got to go to Harvard to connect to dots
And the West Coast know what I’m talking ‘bout
Even in Austraila they know what I’m talking ‘bout
While liars and deniers plunge deep into the frier 
Over money, yo we know what it’s all about
On fire like the phoenix, ‘til we’re ex-man of our ex-planet
Galactic colonizers hunting for the next planet
Devour the world until there’s nothing left damnit 
Our blue globes ‘bout to be the new red planet

As the world burns…
Try to keep cool, when you gon learn
Hotheads lead to full earns
Came from dust I ain't in a rush to return
As the world burns…
Try to keep cool, when you gon learn

Wait a minute (Hold up)
Cool down (Ok)
Take a second (Chillout)
Do it now (Today)
 
Hard to chill when it’s hot in here
Not a day goes by when it’s not severe
Ironic it’s hard to see when they skies are clear
Fall took an extra thirty days to drop this year
And I… feel it in the air when we breath it
We ain’t listen when she need it now mama earth is heated
Call it home but look at how we treat it
Problems we don’t acknowledge we are doom to repeat it
Guess we don’t need no water let the mu’fucka burn
We just need the dollars better give me what I earned
Careful what we wish for, might’ve made this far
If we fan the flames then we really didn’t learn
I just wanna use less and give us more time
‘Fore we run out as the temperatures climbs
Sign of the times it’s a trial by fire
....And the situation’s dire

As the world burns…
Try to keep cool, when you gon learn
Hotheads lead to full earns
Came from dust I ain't in a rush to return
As the world burns…
Try to keep cool, when you gon learn

Wait a minute (Hold up)
Cool down (Ok)
Take a second (Chillout)
Do it now (Today)

As the world burns…
Try to keep cool, when you gon learn
Hotheads lead to full earns
Came from dust I ain't in a rush to return
As the world burns…
Try to keep cool, when you gon learn

Wait a minute (Hold up)
Cool down (Ok)
Take a second (Chillout)
Do it now (Today)

We don't need no water let the mu’fucka burn
Let the mu’fucka burn
We don't need no water let the mu’fucka burn
Careful what we wish for
We don't need no water let the mu’fucka burn
Let the mu’fucka burn
We don't need no water let the mu’fucka burn
Careful what we wish for

As the world burns…
Try to keep cool, when you gon learn
Hotheads lead to full earns
Came from dust I ain't in a rush to return
As the world burns…
Try to keep cool, when you gon learn

Wait a minute (Hold up)
Cool down (Ok)
Take a second (Chillout)
Do it now (Today)
