tell me can the hateful chain be broken

production and consumption define our hollow
lives

avarice lead us across the ocean

toward a land that's better

much more bountiful and wide

when will mankind finally come to realize

his surfeit has become his demise?

how much is enough to kill yourself?

that quantity is known today

as we blow ourselves away

tell me is there anything so sure?

rapacity, tenacity, capacity for more!

like a dog that feeds until he suffers

the infirmity of man is

is brought on by his selfish cure
