Into The Ground Lyrics

We are running ourselves straight into the ground

With our achievements pushing down from above

And our garbage piling higher than a monument

So fill your homes up with our shit

Coupons that you can spend and sit

'Cuz your cellphone's too enticing to find your own food

Buy our appliances, then buy them again

'Cuz you know that copper wire is running thin

And the old ones, they don't work for shit

Now you're dependent on us

To spoon-feed you drugs

So if we must act like none of this will last

If we ignore the past, and live for now

Then we will laugh at all the scientists

Call them blasphemous

Make that the truth

We're doomed

Your color TV makes it easy to see

It gives color to the wars you watch

So while soldiers are tortured and beg for life, it makes you feel free

So drive along in your fancy car

But eventually the engine fails

And it ends up a junkyard far away, just like they all do

'Cuz metal doesn't rot, it just sits and rusts

So think of your trophies in the dust

That metal and plastic just sits and clogs the arteries of the Earth

Clot that blood

So take the trash out every Sunday

Make that grueling crawl, throw it away

There's a landfill that grows on the edge of town

Then the wind picks up and

Blows that trash around

Pollute

When the industry tells us lies and fluff

Just to keep their corporate image buffed

Then maybe we should question their validity

While the water supply fills with toxins

And we steal that water from sick children

Don't be surprised when Mother Earth plans redemption

When the hurricanes blow down your house

Don't go outside with a gun and shout

You're not accomplishing a single thing because you just sit

And let them accomplish this

Because humans know that vengeance is a song

That we all sing along, a tooth for tooth

So don't be surprised when your big city

Melts into the sea

From all that heat

Defeat
