Self-Destruct

Lyrics

(Verse 1: Mantra) They sit in a boardroom, forecast perpetual growth A taskforce more ferocious than the rest of us know We hear laughter stretch from here to the hereafter Concocting new ways to profit from disaster Cash for catastrophe, collateral damage The ofiicial terminology for civilian casualties Shit is fun to ignore living in apathy Give a little as long as we receive a little back it seems It's little wonder we at wits end Bound by pretension at the mercy of the system Economic hitmen, working for their fam while they poisoning the children Hoping it won't kill them Disillusion never saw such grand a scale Delusion was a diva put centre stage Publication got it right to the last detail Lies leap off the page till its all grey (Chorus:) We put the planet on self-destruct Now there's only myself to trust I say fuck it bring the ice age on Cos it couldn't be any worse once the humans are gone Perhaps in fact the world'll be better off When the malice and the madness stop and that darkness drops We put the planet on a desolate road (and it goes, and it goes, and it goes, and it goes) (Verse 2: Mantra) Every human living once wondered what they here for What the blood, what the sweat, what the tears for Now we listen for the shot we got an ear for, Standing dead in front of another hundred years war See how the frightened and the meek walk Fearing the one inevitability we truly know is in store See how the money of the rich talk Assigning a price to a man's life based on where the kid is born Shit is fun to ignore when it is easier Plus we controlling the media Watchin from a safe house stand point we don't feel shit., But it's real close to home and this is some real shit (Feel this!) Better pretend the predator's vendetta Depends on whether you getting the cheddar since it never ends When you go and make best friends with the latest trends Wash the blood from the money that you make and spend (Chorus) (Verse 3: Promoe) We're heading for self-destruction on a high-speed vessel Taking turns on mother earth like a tag team wrestle The World Bank embezzles Your country's being written off as a bad investment With no regard for the people Considered expendable some heart's so deceitful Laughing at our own destruction Till it ain't fun no more we can't ignore the repercussions Cos we all dead when we poison the waters Paradise lost can't be stopped at the borders And now we drowning in the pacific vortex Modern day Atlantis the whole world's the Maldives And the only thing that helps me to carry out In this fucked up situation Is cos I know when humanity's gone Life'll still be fine life will go on (Chorus)
