[Rap Verse 1]
They clearcut hills for a parking lot
Leave a river full of bottle caps and rusted knots
Smoke stacks coughing up the same old lie
While kids look up at an amber sky

They dig till the ground can't hold its name
Tap every vein and they call it game
You can hear the machines on a Sunday morning
Like the whole damn place was trying to warn us

[Chorus]
We built this mess with our own hands
Then acted shocked when it slipped through them
If we want a world that still stands
We gotta change before we lose it
Plant something back where they tore it down
Turn the engines off, turn the volume down
One real choice can start a chain
Save what's left before it drains

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Rap Verse 2]
Plastic in the gut of a sea turtle
Oil on the shore where the gulls still circle
Phones in our pockets, brains on mute
Watching the whole thing, saying "nothing's new"

They keep score in barrels, volts, and pounds
While the ice gives way and the water climbs towns
No one’s coming with a silver key
It’s on us now, plain as can be

[Chorus]
We built this mess with our own hands
Then acted shocked when it slipped through them
If we want a world that still stands
We gotta change before we lose it
Plant something back where they tore it down
Turn the engines off, turn the volume down
One real choice can start a chain
Save what's left before it drains

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Bridge]
Less talk, more patching the holes
Less taking, more letting things grow
Trade the greed for a little restraint
Before the last clean line of blue turns gray

[Chorus]
We built this mess with our own hands
Then acted shocked when it slipped through them
If we want a world that still stands
We gotta change before we lose it
Plant something back where they tore it down
Turn the engines off, turn the volume down
One real choice can start a chain
Save what's left before it drains

[Instrumental Interlude]
