The future is born in struggle
We Are one piece of the puzzle
Hate to burst your bubble,
When greed’s your driving principle
What are we evolving towards?
Are we moving backwards or forwards?
Who charted the course?
Throw the captains of industry overboard.
Is this the human or the rat race?
Have we learned to spark change
Or returned to the dark age?
Has technology liberated us
Or expanded the bars of our cages?
You be the judge. Jury executioner
But you can’t remember what the solutions were
There’s no sustainable economy on a dead earth
Get it right, motherfucker Earth First

Life is too short
To do as you’re told
We’ll build power from below
And overthrow you control

In greed we trusted,
Power accumulated corrupted us
Centralized control in this giant clusterfuck
If you scratch the surface
What’s a capitalists purpose
Just to hoard surplus,
Give a fuck if they hurt us
We’ve inherited this disease
Things are not what they’re appearing to be,
Economics is the science of greed
It’s a pyramid scheme,
Disconnected from the outcomes, we’re lost
Unintended consequence of pandoras box
Cracked the atom
Dropped the bomb
Humans replaced god,
Invented heaven
From whole cloth
To construct a hell on earth
For the have-nots


Life is too short
To do as you’re told
We’ll build power from below
And overthrow you control


And Surveillance,
The owners, the jailers, they are us
They, the eternal myth and paradox,
Jailers stay jailers unless they unlock the cages
The owners, prove crime is contagious
Do they have the wisdom to admit mistakes?
Let the rich take a bow from the world stage
By hording everything they dug their own grave
Had their chance, they hold us back
From choosing our own fate, a new path
Not one we’ve been getting beaten
On since the good old days
A place where we can boldly admit mistakes
Make way for equilibrium with the earth and her ways And live to grow sage
