Lyrics

Let’s Break It Down
(c) 2026 - Douglas Murphy

[Verse 1]
The planet takes death
and turns it into life.
Takes a pile of shit and waste,
turns it into somethin’ nice.

Givin’ all the time it has,
it’ll recycle everything.
You think the world’s at risk.
Well, it isn’t on the brink.

[Verse]
So you light a candle,
and you post your prayers.
Claim you’re “doing your part.
Yet you befoul the air.

Stranglin’ your heart.
With all the crap we spew.
And you bitch and moan.
But I’m telling you.

[Pre-Chorus]
You say the Earth’s in chaos,
like it ain’t seen worse than this.
But you don’t mean “save the planet
You mean “save me instead.

[Chorus]
“Save the planetwhat a line.
Like it’s ours to redesign.
The planet’s finewe’re the threat.
And you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

Let’s break it down.

[Verse]
We’ve turned the seas into plastic waves.
Buggered up the sky.
Say we’re goin’ to do somethin’.
Don’t believe your lies.
Call it “green in ad campaigns.
Pave over land that might have fed,
Hit the streets to scream and yell.
Then head back to bed.

[Chorus]
“Save the planetwhat a line.
Like it’s ours to redesign.
The planet’s finewe’re the threat.
And you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

Let’s break it down.

[Bridge]
You can sort your little plastics,
and shame me in your thread.
But unless the whole damn world aligns,
nothing changes up ahead.

[Verse]
The planet’s been around
for billions of years.
Spinning in spacestill in place.
And look, it’s still here.

[Chorus]
“Save the planetwhat a line.
Like it’s ours to redesign.
The planet’s finewe’re the threat.
And you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

Hey! Let’s break it down.

[Final Chorus]
“Save the planetwhat a line.
Like it’s ours to redesign.
The planet’s finewe’re the threat,
and you ain’t seen nothin’ yet.

Hey! Let’s break it down.

[Outro]
It wipes its slate clean
with fire, storms, and floods.
and never caring once
for the carnage or the blood.
