Anesthetized

When we stop growing will we lose focus?
When we stop expanding will we be hopeless?
When we stop growing will we lose focus?
When we stop expanding will we be hopeless?

With the changing days if you'd change your ways
You'd shoot off a spark of difference
We pray for rain but then exclaim when we're are drenched
With indifference

We put too much stock in the idea
The earth has more to take
We need to choose wisely
Expansion has the power to break

With each new forest plowed we lose quality of air
And electric buzzing lines are all you hear
When one minute isn't filled with mindless drivel
The masses will be forced to return to the earth

We waste our time
On commodity
Never second guessing
The footprints we leave

We need to wake up
One day when you're struggling to breath
You'll look at that strip mall and maybe you'll see what I see
