Sorry For the Mess

lyrics
Sorry for the mess
We let you down I guess
Although we tried our best
I know you're unimpressed
So yes, we got the message
Sorry for the mess
Pardon please our dust
The ink stains and the rust
It must be you're accustomed to a finer crew than us
So while we're all adjusting
Please excuse the dust
I'll concede this legacy is underwhelming
The seas are rising, the ice caps melting
The bees all have diseases and the ozone's full of holes
A mass of plastic crap is floating in the ocean
Some days it feels like the end's approaching
but don't feel blue - for you it's all brand new...
Seems we all just dropped the ball on global warming
Ignored Al Gore and all the morbid warnings
Now the rhino and the polar bear are barely getting by
The sushi's full of mercury and salmonella
It’s not fair but I’m here to tell ya
It's your turn now to turn it all around...
So sorry for the mess
It's ugly I confess
Distressing and depressing
we so badly failed this test
So yes we're really sorry
Sorry for the mess
We let you down I guess
Although we tried our best
I know you're unimpressed
So yes, we got the message
Sorry for the mess
Pardon please our dust
The ink stains and the rust
It must be you're accustomed to a finer crew than us
So while we're all adjusting
Please excuse the dust
I'll concede this legacy is underwhelming
The seas are rising, the ice caps melting
The bees all have diseases and the ozone's full of holes
A mass of plastic crap is floating in the ocean
Some days it feels like the end's approaching
but don't feel blue - for you it's all brand new...
Seems we all just dropped the ball on global warming
Ignored Al Gore and all the morbid warnings
Now the rhino and the polar bear are barely getting by
The sushi's full of mercury and salmonella
It’s not fair but I’m here to tell ya
It's your turn now to turn it all around...
So sorry for the mess
It's ugly I confess
Distressing and depressing
we so badly failed this test
So yes we're really sorry
Sorry for the mess
