Consume To Live Lyrics
making money out of poverty turning forests into meatwe got our fingers on the trigger of some suicidal gunthe population's getting bigger underneath a dying sunthere's a fire in the furnace and there's nothing left to burnburied waste has reached the surface is there nothing left to learn?every day ozone getting layered every way life is getting worseeverybody's lung is getting cancer everyone has something more to loseevery country armies are rising every gene splitting into twoevery breath monoxide getting stronger every sea whales are beachedeconomies are growing subsistence life is deadwe can't sustain this growth and things are coming to a headwe gotta learn to climb down the ladder of successwith two feet on the ground we gotta clean up all this messthere's a fire in the furnace and there's nothing left to burnburied waste has reached the surface is there nothing left to learn?every life extinction is forever every town riots in the streetsevery sky greenhouse is affecting every tree dying in the breezeevery plant chemical pollution every song relying on the beatevery lake water getting shorter every heart aching for releasesurviving in a world of mass production we must all consume to liveour working lives to give and join the unemployment lineswhen confidence is lowa man must try to sell his labour to the highest bidkeep his anger hid and try not to get pulled intothe vicious undertowbut even in the middle classes they fall into that holeaspiring to that goal of rising from the yoke ofsuch an exploitative stateconsume to live
Threshold Consume To Live
