Major Rift
Last light in the iron sky, dark news from the East
Whole lot of bad vibes going around, no think before we speak
Everybody is an expert now. Everybody's got something to say
Goin to sit here on the fence not giving too much away
Cause lots of people are bound to get hurt if everybody shoots from the hip
All around the sacred cows stampede off the cliff
To the sound of a major rift.

What happened to 'all in this together'? What happened to 'all for one'?
What happened to stiff upper lip? What happened to caring for everyone?
When did we take our love away? When did bitter start prowling the hall?
When did it all come tumbling down? When did we build the wall
Suddenly we're on a choppy sea in a dodgy, leaky boat adrift
Roll back the dice to the time before there was a serious shift
And the sound of a Major Rift

I like us better when we pull together. Everybody try and play nice
Everybody try and play nice....try play nice

Astronaut looking down from above at a little blue ball in the sky
Can't see the crunched up faces, the scared hearts caught in a vice
All he sees is that little blue ball and how very lovely it is
Can't hear the arguments for the feeling that it's all a swizz
Just sees the home that he longs for and the people that he loves down there
Knows what's important. It matters cause it's so damned rare
A precious glowing gift. That's beyond a Major Rift.
