This is the story of child,
The heiress to a broken world
In which she has to recide.
She's the product of a bygone time
Before decline
When greed was the only code by which we'd abide.
But look, those days are gone now,
They've been replaced with the tune of a way more song,
How could we let it go this far
We tore it apart
We took the only world we have
And just stripmined it all.
Anihilation!
Another species wiped off the face of the earth,
Better jot that one down in the margin somewhere.
Deforestation!
Acres of land left barren and cold.
It's getting harder to breathe!
We take this world that we have for granted
Spend it all and I can't stand it
It falls apart we don't understand it
Look at what is happening.
This blood is on our hands
How high a price are we willing to pay?
Maybe that tale was a bit to deep for you to grasp it all,
So let me tone it down and get a little bit more personal.
You've got a smartphone in your pocket don't you?
With a tablet at home for watching netflix on,
And a laptop in your backpack
So let me tack Mac
To the list of all the
Shit that you have stacked
No scratch that,
'Cause in a couple of months
You'll get a new one
Another cycles begun.
And as the next gen is up for release,
You'll throw the old one on the pile like the piece of thrash that it is!
Moutains of waste,
Growing higher and higher!
As landfills poison the ground.
Factories!
Smokestacks spewing fumes into the air.
Has it always been this hard to breathe?
We take this world that we have for granted
Spend it all and i can't stand it
It falls apart we don't understand it
Look at what is happening.
We ignore all the signs we're given
Desolate the world we live in
We still have time we can make it better
Change the fate of the earth
Consume
Discard
Consume
Discard
We consume and discard
Until nothing remains!
FUCK,
This mentality
Where out of sight is out of mind
So we just let it be
I can't claim I'm any better
But at least I try to make a difference
In the world to keep our children alive.
