Her smug aura mocks me
Let the markets do their thing
I despise being patronised
Thinks she knows everything
But I've listened my whole life

Ignoring the damage done ‘cause they won’t be the banished ones
Try to fight but our hands are tied
So we live tweet our own demise
Scorched the earth but nevermind
At least shareholders thrived

You’re failing us
We won’t forgive you

[“People are suffering. People are dying. Entire ecosystems are collapsing. We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth. How dare you!” - Greta Thunberg]

A death cult of eternal growth
They have their faith - all we have is hope
Still we strive to fight but our hands are tied
As the water levels rise
As if there’s time for compromise

Corporations’ fossil fuels foul the air, the land, the seas
Cease relentless consequenceless greed
They know the damage done
But know they’re not the punished ones
Still not mature enough to tell it like it is
We won’t let them get away with this

Sacrificed the earth to politicians with a price
With an ‘X’ it’s co-signed - auxiliary genocide
So no, we won’t give them an easy ride
If capital is a finite resource they horde
We’re left no other option - we must resort to force

A death cult of eternal growth
Fatal in faith
They have their faith - all we have is hope
We strive to fight but our hands are tied
As the water levels rise
As if there’s time for fucking compromise

Auxiliary genocide
Shameless out in broad daylight
A death cult of eternal growth
Fatal in faith
They have their faith - all we have is hope
