They said they'd tame the sea
When all her storms began their howling
Said they'd patch the holes in sky
Before the sun bought us to boiling
And they said they'd stop the fires
Before we burned for understanding
Then they watergated wires
To stop the questions and the talking
And my boy is burning
They stared building walls
Around their power and their comfort
But no guns have yet been fired
So keep your heads down, go in quiet
Cos who am I to say
That this is all the start of endings
When we all hope and pretend
Just keeping on will bring us everything
But my boy is burning
My boy is burning
My boy is burning
Right in front of me
