Apocalyptic policies  That neglect the environment and diminish the future  Because the zealots in power  Those ruling are ruled by their faith in the scriptures  When the environment takes a backseat to religion  Are they serving our interests or just succumbing to fiction?  There’s no more hope for our future when we’re governed by fear  Of the political holy men who believe the end is near  This is the end  The end is here  We’re all dead  Governed by fear  Fear of the end  Environmental eclipse  We’re already dead  Governing for the apocalypse  Their distain for this world  Is obvious in the content of their environmental laws  They never hear the cries of nature  Which are drowned out by the sound of corporate applause  They don’t seem to realize what’s really at stake  They can’t see the forest for the trees when they’re blinded by faith  They can’t comprehend how much their policies are flawed  When they’re busy groveling, down on their knees, before god  This is the end  The end is here  We’re all dead  Governed by fear  Fear of the end  Environmental eclipse  We’re already dead  Governing for the apocalypse  The second coming is coming  So there’s really no need to take care of the earth  They just live for today  And bleed the planet for all that it’s worth  But do they live for today or are they living for death?  Do they really feel god breathing down the back of their necks?  It’s their faith in the end that we’ll all live to regret  When our children inherit the wasteland that’s left  This is the end  The end is here  We’re all dead  Governed by fear  Fear of the end  Environmental eclipse  We’re already dead  Governing for the apocalypse
