lyrics

Humanity is breaking it’s a rabid disease
There’s death in the soil and it’s sprouting through the leaves
Now all that’s left is decrepit tombstones teeth and bones
All the rest washed down the drain
Salvage what you can, and cling to your seeds
If we don’t stop them soon, all the crops will turn to weeds
No food to be found, it’s all rotting in the ground
Our graves are underneath their garlic plots

We’re caged animals
There’s life beyond the fences
We live our whole lives inside barbed wire pens
We live our whole lives inside of them

Germinating poison, building empires made of glass
Common decency’s a virtue that we’re leaving in the past
It’s hard to reap the benefits of life, when big business soweth plague
So throw the vermin in the compost bin
And plant a seed of lead, put it right between their eyes
And bite the hand that feeds you, ‘cause it’s plotting your demise
Then feed the earthworms, mites, and slugs a kickshaw of corporate trash
And house the maggots in their hollowed skulls

We’re caged animals
There’s life beyond the fences
We live our whole inside barbed wire pens
We live our whole lives inside of them

When will we put oil on these grinding gears?
Lubricate our minds with something more than just beers
We’ll be afraid our whole lives if we don’t deal with our fears
So let’s start the fire that’s been smoking for years
With the right tools we could fix this evil machine
Rearrange all the parts to make it work for our dreams
It’ll run on ambition and the engine will roar
So flip it up to fifth gear and put your foot to the floor
