“Ecocide”

Strife Verse 1:

We're on the verge of human extinction...
Civilization spiked the kool aid ya been drinking
Eyes closed, constipated ya thinking
Can’t see past your nose, the titanics sinking...
ya conscience is shrinking, faster than eyes blinking
big biz kills kids
fills their gills thick,
feeds off the selfish sickness
stayin’ divided our real illness
Humanity smothers wilderness
killin’ this forest so you can’t see the trees
love one another, never trust the beast that
Capitalist chaos claims to govern
An endless growth disease but it will crumble, it will crumble
blocks epiphanies then ya stumble
brains infected seized
cancer leaves
thoughts defective
what's the answer? You see
been neglecting
the earths needs,
steadily caused her casualties, very casually
elected leaders made us all bleed, tragically
a change gone come, we need it radically
problems dissected, we need to plant the seeds… of revolution,
of a big picture perspective solution, since buildings & institutions erected
block out the skys perfection
no time to be reflectin’
The greatest crime of a lifetime
Not seeing past (your) short sight lines
One struggle one fight, you might find
collective enslavement
by corporations
is necessitating
worker emancipation
animal & earth liberation
one in the same cause threats we're facing
means fighting on many fronts, adjacent
Remember patience
in the face of paper-chasers is complacent, we owe them much hatred, gotsta rip up their faces
if we wait, (may not be) there won’t be future generations

Ecocide Hook

Future (been) denied,
plants animals, (and) people die
Committing ecocide,
Gotta be more to people’s lives
Then work buy consume die
Resources sucked dry,
Their our last legal high
While bald eagles fly
We won’t split an equal pie,
(From) Attacks on native lives whole countries strip mined
globalization genocide Colonialism been revived
Now Our Earth will see us die
Rise… organize your tribe
ride and regain your sight
When the time is right
We know when to strike
At (these) rich parasites
Wake the fuck up and fight…

Verse 2:
the intentions of those flaunting wealth stand naked,
let's not play the hands we're dealt
since they’ve taken
our freewill, ensures we've knelt
or be killed on alters of progress, our doom is spelled
by deadly doctors, tell us to live with losses
follow bosses, swallow costs but it’s
prescriptions for extinction
technology drugs the witness
cringe at the pain of a grimace
give up societies fictions or we're finished
