Whereabouts from here civilised to death?
Are you telling me this is as good as it gets?
Is humanity really breathing it's last breaths?
Or are we choking on the fumes coming through the vents?
It's intense
What are your intents?
We're trying to attain a permanent state never incensed
But that's not possible
Pain's unstoppable
But it won't last forever just like fossil fuels
You're not special
But your needs are real
Allowed ourselves to become
Helpless as newborn
When the power runs out
We'll see who we really are
No food, No fire
No one to exploit
You've built your grid
And we're tied to it
But where we gonna hide
When it dies?
We built your cities
And you dine from it
But where you gonna hide
When we organise?
We'll step away from your embrace
Regroup and disappear without a trace
Back to basics back to base
You can keep your crown and mace
Remove the assault weapon
Replace it with purpose
Teach him to help children
So he won't hurt them
The bankers are gangsters
They wanna take our houses
Then when we ask for food
They tell us get in the dumpsters
Cheeky fuckers!
My needs are as real as yours
And when we steal it pours
We only steal cause we're poor
If only we could grow our own
We could avoid being prone
And give ourselves room to roam
Without being thrown a bone
And being told not to bite the hands that feeds
Even though they're the hands of thieves
From lands of greed
Perceived as purveyors of fair play
Absolute fallacy
If they had the tech
They'd colonise the whole fucking galaxy
You're not special
But your needs are real
Allowed ourselves to become
Helpless as newborn
When the power runs out
We'll see who we really are
No food, No fire
No one to exploit
You burned our homes to civilise us
You told us we needed to be reborn
You made us work and pay for our own land
That we lived upon before your country was born
We knew nothing of taxes or prisons
You built the latter because of the former
You made us dig up our lands for jewels
And you put them atop your skulls
To prove that you were civilised and we weren't
Just because of your murderous tools
You depicted us as animals in your art
and then you made us out to be fools
But now you're running out of land
And space and food
Pretending you're cool
You raised me to have autonomy
Then you price me out of it
You had your debts
And now you're nicely out of it
Benefiting from your 90's capitalist
Prices of housing
How will it manifest?
Your brewing into ruin
Your brewing into ruin
But your beyond civilised
And your brewing into ruin
Because your beyond civilised
