so i ask myself are we too far gone because ever since we put our hands on the mill we've been cutting strong blind to life and the consequences of taking life we're not jet set ready we're sinking with the ship that we built too quickly but we'll shift and reshift the blame to keep it off our conscience that we helped to build it so long to the simple song the balanced one that's long gone forgotten by more than some minds burned while young pioneers gone wrong who won't cease to live without oppressing life...and so long to the ways that we knew fit with the world that we lived in gracious world a forgiving world and show our thanks with industry open eyes can see while open mouths could speak to change or rearrange what should not be taken
