Song Lyrics

Who's gonna settle for a living wage when a killing is more suiting?
If in securing more starts a war or cues a ruinous chain of ecocide
Genocide that's the price "so be it..."
Where there are mouths to feed nobody contends
Where wants trump needs, that's harder to defend
Thoughts like this give me anxiety
Do we raise a roof overhead by razing the earth underfoot
Do we vitiate Gaia that pagan pariah?
Taking pay in trade with levity we stand to seal our fates
Life's brevity demands we focus in on maxims of truth and say "f*ck the pressures of pace!"
We may reap the spoils but we frown at the taste
We chew them up and we spit them out
The threat of ensuing chaos I doubt
"Too big to fail!," the cry resounding from this giant's feet
What's it mean?
Who's got your back when the structures collapse?
Come what may
Maybe this chaos will return us to a time when we can learn from our mistakes
Whatever it takes!
If in securing peace we bleed the last drops out of this beast we know as hegemon, empire "so be it..."
We can hold our breath and wait for a savior or take a step towards saving ourselves
Wiser men than we have maintained
"Nothing lost, nothing gained"
We may honor our toils but no honor is repaid
They'll chew us up and they'll spit us out
The promise of ensuing progress I doubt
Is that what we're here for, more just more? To get a raise?
