We saw the end coming, but did nothing to stop it;
there's no room for humanity in the margins of profit.
We silenced the dissenters, all the prophets of peace.
We killed all the thinkers, and the questions soon ceased.
We did nothing! Nothing!
We got drunk, in our stupor,
with wine and cheap pleasure, and any synthetic allure.
Plastic and silicon, then anything the men would adjure.
We did nothing! Nothing!
Except create senseless rumors:
"Our God will protect us; we are his love, so pure.
Mother will correct us; she always has the cure."
So, please! Burn this empire down!
Let those ashes fertilize the ground.
Erase all our names from the textbooks we covet.
Then **** on our graves, and grow rainforests from it.
We saw the end coming, but did nothing to stop it;
there's no room for humanity in the margins of profit.
