[Refrain]

Oh, we've got no one but the shifters to blame!


[Nature's Verse]

Oh, I only have the shifters to blame

The people that you worship have caused all the pain

Yeah, I can only watch them as my kind is slain

You're digging up our root systems with giant cranes

I'm sorry in advance for lumping you in

Yeah, you're scary when you're drunk, but that ain't nothing compared to this

Ambes dunked into the water, swimming tests where they've sunk

I'm mortified for them, those worthless parts of junk


[Nature's Chorus]

Please clean up the gunk before we do!

I don't wanna drink your poison stew!

You humans really know how to pollute

Everything in sight, yeah I wish you

Could see yourself now, destroying lands!

I can't believe the world is in your hands

I really wanna like you, but I can't!

The only thing you've shifted's your survival chance!


[Humanity's Verse]

We're just other creatures who want to evolve

If that means plowing through and getting rid of all

That stands in the way, we gladly will

Move forth through the night over the steepest hills

Mountain up ahead? We'll dig a tunnel through

You've seen that extinction always leads to something new

Yeah, it's our time to shine, we're the asteroids

You're this era's dinosaurs, about to be destroyed


[Break]

YOW!


[Humanity's Chorus]

You were happy when they left, why can't this be the same?

Is it just because it's you? Well, to that I say

Shame on you! You're not noble, you're too humble to be brave!

You're just asking for another six-lane road to be paved!

It's not like you can stop us, you're just a little blockade

On the stairway to heaven, prepare to be a-locked away!

It's easy to pull plants out the ground and euthanize

Predators tryna fight us; just look at their sleepy eyes!

[Duel Section A; Nature, Humanity; both voiced by Simpler Complex]

All that says about you is you lack empathy!

If we had swapped our places, you would want mercy;

You'd be beggin' to your lord to let you live

'Cause conveniently they like to forget and forgive!

At least that makes us have someone to look up to

Maybe blame a few things on them instead of you

You can make this easy or very hard

You can let some grass go softly, or draw twenty cards!

[Duel Section B; Nature, Humanity; both voiced by Simpler Complex]

Never forget that you're a part of me!

You came from the apes, I'm a family

You cannot emancipate yourself from in any way!

Are you sure about that? Just wait and see!

We can kill you all off and then destroy the evidence

That you were ever alive- But that doesn't make sense!

Who started this war? IT WAS YOU!

It's not about who made the first move, it's about what we do!

[Outro; Nature, Humanity, Both; all voiced by Simpler Complex]

If it's about what we do, then what do you call this?

Lyin' on the couch, being so mindless?

You can turn your words around, yet that doesn't change a thing

No one cares if I let you do the work for me

I guess I hate you with a passion 'cause of what you've done

I hope you want to delete what you've become

We used to be the same, but now we've split

They can pick and choose a side, but they'll never want to shift
