We all partake
in the death of humanity.
We've been subject to and
overtaken by insanity.
Homicide, suicide--
they're now one in the same.
Not just one person's doing it,
we all must take the blame.
We all take transportation
and are careless with our waste.
Oh, how much good for this planet
does the dominating race?

We take care of this fine planet
as well as we do ourselves.
There's nothing we can do anymore
to improve our health.
because our food is tainted,
and so's the air we breathe,
a "real" healthy lifestyle is
impossible to upkeep.

We're forced to consume the poison
as we make our way down this slide.
We all are dying slowly
while we sit upon this ride.
There's no point in trying to change it now.
We've waited till it's too late.
The damage is so serious and baleful
that we can't ameliorate.
They look and search for another planet
on which we may thrive and dwell.
But why should there be another place for us
if we don't treat this one well?
