lyrics

Global warming
Man-made pollution
Greenhouse gases
What’s the solution
Leave the masses
Out of wealth redistribution
Divides are drastic
Pesticides and plastics
What’s the Impact
Of fossil fuel consumption
Fattened livestock and quadrupled meat production,
Shocking government corruption and indifference
Blame the debt traps of the global finance system
For carbon dioxide emissions and starvation
Unfortunately, environmental degradation
Disproportionately affects poor populations
Holes in the ozone layer, UV radiation
Drought, heat waves, desertification
Melting glaciers ocean acidification
Extreme weather events
These disasters never end
On planet earth, it’s code red

Can’t expand infinite on a finite planet
Endless growth like a cancer we take for granted
We steal from the earth to survive
What happens when demand outstrips supply
Wealth is an illusion, can’t take it when you die.
What good is money if there’s no one left to buy?

Climate crisis
They try to keep us quiet
But rising food prices leads to food riots
As species die-off,
The wealthy hide the high cost
They control and categorize and lie lots
Patent genes copyright life
And profit from our plight
It’s fight or flight
We are a dying breed
The last of the mortals
To live free on this earthly coil
Cursed to return to the soil
Each birth is a portal
To another world
Junkies for oil conquered the ether
Now the seas will boil and the earths the heater
Our dominion over the globe is counterfeit
We are a part of nature not apart from it
If we don’t halt this division
through mutual aid and resistance
we face extinction
We’re on the brink man
It’s evolution or extinction
We’re on the brink man
It’s evolution or extinction
