Lyrics
Frog Nation Speaks
we are dying
we are dying at your hands
we?re dying all around you
still you refuse to understand
we?re dying now in numbers
even you can?t count
but do you ever stop to wonder
what our dying is about?
Frog Nation speaks
Frog Nation speaks to you
you live inside the lies you tell
and so you shield your minds with doubt
but our skins breathe everything that is
we can not keep your poisons out
so our dying is a message
and our time has come to go
we?re dying first, we?re leaving now
we?re dying to let you know
Frog Nation speaks
Frog Nation speaks to you
Frog Nation speaks
Frog Nation speaks to you?
you think that we?re so different
you say we?re not like you
but we are all just part of This One Life
you?re just a part of, too
you think that we?re so different
you say we?re not your kind
but if you make us leave this home we share
you won?t be far behind
you won?t be far behind?
Frog Nation speaks
Frog Nation speaks to you?
look down now you?ll see
here in low places you have friends
look into our faces
and see yourselves again
so we give you now this warning
and we give it with our lives:
it?s time to change the way you live
or all of us will die
it?s time to change the way you live
or all of us will die?
