Materialism instilled from birth Financial wealth equates your lifes worth Consumer culture and social ills The war machine profits as it kills Inherent greed of the chosen few Bitten off more than they can chew We're running out of time Taken for granted all the things we've known Now it's time to reap what we've sewn But we've planted the seeds of discontent Diplomacy used to circumvent Global industry tipping the scales Turn back the clocks or disaster prevails Coz it takes so much effort to make us pay attention Too busy consuming to think of prevention Polluting exploiting with reckless abandon Human neglect til no one is left standing
