about

Inspired by an episode of the podcast How To Survive the End of the World by Autumn Brown and adrienne maree brown, and the book A Paradise Built in Hell by Rebecca Solnit

lyrics

Meet me in the ashes of the Biodome
turn right at the crater of the cross
we're building something new together
and no one can tell us what it costs

They say that something big is breaking
and they tell us it's our fault
all I have is this old heart that's aching
and half an acre full of salt

LETS GO down to the river, if the river is still there
lets walk to the coast, I could use some fresh air
there are no borders to an earthquake
fires don't care about state lines
something's shaking loose but we can bide our time

Some of us know how to cook and some of us to sew
I've been learning how to keep the stuff that we can grow
rich folks want us to think there's things that we can't know
but a dollar's just a dollar when you're standing in the snow

(LETS GO)

Footsteps 'cross ontario feels like a million years
found bikes outside toronto but we lost a couple gears
I'm dreaming of Stan Rogers, and how he got to drive
here's your Northwest Passage and we'll make it out alive

(LETS GO)

The sunset looks gorgeous from this cliff face
the supermarket's only half a mile away
I've got ten bags of lentils, a raccoon that knows its name
and maybe if you want you could stay

(AND WE'LL GO)
