lyrics

Big wigs, commercial suits and the make believe.
Give them the time to tax the air we breathe.
Lives broken down beneath a sea of stars
We sell our houses just to fill our cars.

We offer broken hands,
To donate bargain cans.
A million mouths to feed,
Consume bureaucracy.

And we breed more and more whilst the planet is choking,
We are pawns in a game that we don’t want to play.
And we shield from the light whilst the planet is smoking,
A blind eye to the beast in the cold light of day.

Regenerating and filling with life,
Contaminating the world by design.
Accommodating with arms open wide,
Obliterating everything in sight.

And here’s the next one, and here’s the next one after.

And we try and fill our lives with sanctity,
But it’s overshadowed with the urgency.
And we need to fill our lives with symmetry,
But it’s overpowered by hostility.

We offer broken hands,
To donate bargain cans.
A million mouths to feed,
Consume bureaucracy.

And we breed more and more whilst the planet is choking,
We are pawns in a game that we don’t want to play.
And we shield from the light whilst the planet is smoking,
A blind eye to the beast in the cold light of day.
