When The trees that help you breathe have no worth until they're cut,
When the air that filled the Breeze, is now poisoned with the earth,
tilled of all its energy and life to feed our fiscal worth,
and everything that's left to fight for bleeds into the dirt,
When there's no more frozen ice caps To keep the temper down,
And the fossils that once fuelled your warmth is burning all around,
the test of your true value where greed sustains demand,
now retreats with each defeat as the seas invade the land
We're damned
I lift the veil To sing this song to you
For once in your miserable auld existence cant you do
The right thing by The ones you say you love or is it true
you care less about the future that you've left them too
When the world sustains your life gains value only when it's gone,
Removed of its capacity to survive and right the wrong,
To the songs of martyrdom that glorifies the pain,
As an existential crisis in a western parlor game,
Engaging Puppets on a string you choke within its grips,
as You inhale the toxic gas In a last-ditch to resist,
All because a lie was sold as truth you know that hurts as it,
feeds you then it feeds on you til it's had its feed of shit,
We're sick
I lift the veil To sing this song to you
For once in your miserable auld existence cant you do
The right thing by The ones you say you love or is it true
you care less about the future that you've left them too
You shift towards the feeds on Facebook to be pacified,
Your liberal shit takes a hit solution ecocide,
And The face behind the masks unveils the arsehole that it hides,
In plain sight of the same shite where true heartlessness resides,
You'd sooner choose an eco-fascist system than accept,
humanity as you're responsibility to protect,
instead, espouse Malthusian concepts through this enterprise,
Cause in the end it's all pretend you're a bastard filled with lies,
fuck off and die
I lift the veil To sing this song to you
For once in your miserable auld existence cant you do
The right thing by The ones you say you love or is it true
you care less about the future that you've left them too
