War, technology and oil
Have brought pollution, decadence and greed
The more we take the more we fear
The Earth surrendered to our lust for gold!
Slaves of our voracity
Progress has crippled our capacity
Forever trying to simplify
We complicate, we mistify
The world disposable defines our creed!
Debt, our only currency
Constantly chained to damn economy
Let's feed our dreams with bank accounts
Worship the icon of the modern age!
Chains! The Twentienth Century destroyed our faith!
We're chained to fear!
Even though I know it's wrong
I don't want to sacrifice
There's a part of me that's comfortable here
In these niceties I drown
I've got everything I want
But my inner voice keeps whispering "Just let it go"
Whatever we might do, we stand alone
Feasting on our own flesh we won't last long
It'd be hard to recognize
All the damage, all the lies
Why would I want to observe the product I've become?
If I have to pay a price
Why redeem my faulty life?
I'll take everything, for here and now is all I've got
Whatever we make up, we stand alone
Shadows on a wall aren't the real scene
We must break the
Chains! The Twentieth Century debauched our age!
We conquered all!
Leaving the Earth profaned, our garbage spread!
I can't believe it hasn't been enough!
I don't know why I was born
But it's been so short a ride
If I died now I would leave a worthless legacy
I guess comfort isn't much
If compared to what it costs
Should I sacrifice or should I turn on
...my new plasma screen?
