Life has no meaning

OIL IN OUR WATER
FISH NOWHERE TO BE FOUND
THE MODERN DAY MURDERER
SEEPS POISON INTO THE GROUND

FOSSIL FUEL EMISSIONS
HANG HEAVY IN THE AIR
BLATANT SIGNS OF WASTEFULNESS
AND DECADENCE EVERYWHERE

TOXIC WASTE STORED AND DUMPED EVERYWHERE
BIGGER ENGINES AND BIGGER CARS
PUMP EVEN MORE POISON INTO OUR AIR
DO WE REALLY NEED WHAT WE HAVE
AND DO WE EVEN CARE

THE ANSWERS ARE SIMPLE
AND THE SOLUTIONS THE SAME
WE DID THIS TO OURSELVES
LET'S TRY THIS ONCE AGAIN

THE FARMERS PLIGHT, THE WORKING CLASS
LESS FOOD THAN MOUTHS TO FEED
OUR CHILDREN, OUR PEOPLE ONE AND ALL
SUFFER FOR MANKIND’S GREED TO SUCCEED

THE WARS OVER SEAS THAT NOBODY SEES
PICTURES AND STORIES BEYOND BELIEF
OF TORTURE, DEATH AND GRIEF
DESENSITIZING US MORE EVERY DAY
AND OUR COMPASSION BEGINS TO FADE AWAY

THE KILLING FIELDS, OUR OWN PEACEFUL TOWNS
RAVAGED BY FEAR, DEATH AND PAIN
HELD HOSTAGES ARE WE, NEVER TO BE SET FREE
FROM THE CLUTCHES OF GREED'S BLOODY REIGN

OUR PURPOSE IN LIFE HAS NO MEANING
THOUGH WE ALL TRY HARD TO BELIEVE
BUT THE TRICK IS NOT TRYING, IT’S LIVING
TO GIVE EACH LIFE MEANING
BEFORE WE HAVE TO LEAVE

THERE'S NO SECRET TO OUR FUTURE
IT SHINES BRIGHTLY THROUGH ALL OF THIS
GET RID OF OPPRESSION AND DISCRIMINATION
EQUALITY FOR ONE AND ALL
TEAR DOWN ALL BOUNDARIES AND BORDERS
EVERY FENCE AND EVERY WALL

ONE PEOPLE, ONE CAUSE
ONE WORLD, ONE NATION

THE UNIVERSE WILL BEAR ITS SOUL TO US
ONE PEOPLE WITH ONE GOAL IN TRUST
TO GO FORTH INTO THE REALM OF DARKNESS
AND THE UNKNOWN
BRINGING THE LIGHT OF PROSPERITY FOR ALL
AND MAKING THE WHOLE WORLD OUR HOME

IT'S A DREAM I HAVE
I HOPE SOMEDAY WILL COME TRUE
WITH A PEACEFUL COEXISTENCE FOR
THEM, US AND YOU.
