where did the yellow brick road go?
i think they piled it with pavement,
and now the cars are spilling their oil into our water basins,
and i'm wondering how much longer i'll be alive here,
decreasing life span year by year
i'm hoping the cure for cancer is clear, but to me it seems
growing technology is more important than the value of human life,
we sacrifice each other for the sake of keeping us alive.
so tell me, society, why don't we stop to try?
because if we keep going on like this,
like plants,
we'll wither and die.
