[Verse 1]
We're worlds apart
Like a crashin' car
Like a dyin' star
Across a great divide
[Chorus]
It's like a riptide
It's like a riptide
It's like a riptide
[Verse 2]
Wild scenes
On my wide screen
Power dynamics
On a crazy, crazy planet
Geo politics
They're killin' for kids
What can we learn
As the screw turns?
[Chorus]
It's like a riptide
It's like a riptide
It's like a riptide
[Post-Chorus]
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
Do-do-do-do
It's like a riptide (Do-do-do-do)
It's like a riptide (Do-do-do-do)
It's like a riptide
[Verse 3]
Ego-mouthed politicians
Don't do any fightin' (Fightin')
Keep their kids in hidin' (Hidin')
While all the time they're lyin' (Lyin')
Other kids are cryin' (Lyin')
Other kids are dyin'
Dyin', dyin', dyin'
[Chorus]
It's like a riptide
It's like a riptide
It's like a riptide
It's like a riptide (Do-do-do-do)
It's like a riptide (Do-do-do-do)
It's like a riptide (Do-do-do-do)
(Do-do-do-do)
