All Fall Down

the air stings my eyes

the water burns my skin

I've seen the reactions through my actions

but I don't try to change a thing at all

we're taught to close our eyes

and conditioned to believe their lies

as we watch them

rape the land and skies

to build the things

that own our lives

and we'll never stop

were driven by greed

we'll never stop

we take more than we need

and they'll never stop

the politicians with their lies

the corporations wont compromise

but still we refuse to change our lives

and - we all fall down -

we do what is convenient for ourselves

without regard for our surroundings

or each other

and take what we want

and discard the rest

never looking back

at the damage

that we've done

always moving forward

closer to oblivion
