lyrics

Only after, only after the last tree has been cut down.
Only after, only after the last river has been poisoned.
Only after, only after the last fish has been caught.
Only then will you realize, that money cannot be eaten.

War and debt, freedoms greatest fear. So many wasted years. It's all the earth can hear. How we're segregated into separate nations, following manipulating proclamations. Forced to give away your hopes dreams, fall into complacency, union free, cost efficiency.

Truth can't be revealed until reality sets in and you pull back the veil to life's audacity. Accepting fault can only make you stronger.

Work everyday, your whole life, just to survive.
Forcing hand, dictating the person you should be.
False reality, crippling us with fatalistic absolutes.
Welcome to the confines of these...

Life hasn't evolved just to be controlled, coerced labour, higher inflation, lower wages, life's over and nothing changes. Head start up the ladder, they're kicking out rungs under them. And they shout that have earned theirs. Enjoy the dependency bestowed by the cockroaches of avarice manor.

Work everyday, your whole life, just to survive.
Forcing hand, dictating the person you should be.
False reality, crippling us with fatalistic absolutes.
Welcome to the confines of these...

Raise your fists in solidarity, divide our resources equally. Combine what we know, expel needless vanity for the sake of minority wealth. Our voice can be loud and pronounced, fuck the fences, the bondage, and the alienating class structures. Tonight lets sing and light fire to feudal pyres.
