Another Decade older and What have we done?

Another Decade Older and What have we done
More pollution and waste and wars that can't be won

No one left but what we've become
Another decade older and What have we done

Songs that cannot be unsung
we are twisted and wrung
You are right and you are wrong

Take this bad mind
and put it down
Just Stop
Take a breath
Stop moving
everyone

Take a deep breath
Stop all the running
and consuming
until all is consumed.
What do you pay for those shoes?

Lets see how long it will take
When they are not using everyone
To do what they say can't be done

Lets turn away
Stop giving it power
Take one day
Take one more hour
It is all the same
We have to stop
Giving it power
This insatiable growl
It's here to devour
Yours, mine and ours
rushed into the final hour
Feed the right wolf in ourselves
and in one another

Do not feed the spirit that cannot be satisfied.
A parasite of the soul and of the mind
Pack up in the night and leave it behind
