tell  me  can  the  hateful  chain  be  broken

production  and  consumption  define  our  hollow  lives

avarice  lead  us  across  the  ocean

toward  a  land  that's  better

much  more  bountiful  and  wide

when  will  mankind  finally  come  to  realize

his  surfeit  has  become  his  demise?

how  much  is  enough  to  kill  yourself?

that  quantity  is  known  today

as  we  blow  ourselves  away

tell  me  is  there  anything  so  sure?

rapacity,  tenacity,  capacity  for  more!

like  a  dog  that  feeds  until  he  suffers

the  infirmity  of  man  is

is  brought  on  by  his  selfish  cure
