Running Out Of Time

Materialism instilled from birth
Financial wealth equates your lifes worth
Consumer culture and social ills
The war machine profits as it kills
Inherent greed of the chosen few
Bitten off more than they can chew

We're running out of time

Taken for granted all the things we've known
Now it's time to reap what we've sewn
But we've planted the seeds of discontent
Diplomacy used to circumvent
Global industry tipping the scales
Turn back the clocks or disastеr prevails

Coz it takes so much effort to makе us pay attention
Too busy consuming to think of prevention
Polluting exploiting with reckless abandon
Human neglect til no one is left standing
