Jet Set Ready

So I ask myself

"Are we too far gone?"

'Cause ever since we put our hands on the mill

We've been cutting strong

Blind to life

And the consequence of taking life

We're not jet set ready

We're sinking with the ship

That we built too quickly

We'll shift and re-shift the blame

To keep it off our conscience

That we all helped to build it

So long

To the simple song

The balanced one

That's long gone

Forgotten by more than some

Minds burned while young

Pioneers gone wrong

Who won't cease to live

Without oppressing life

So long

To the ways that we knew fit

With the world we lived in

It didn't generate

Enough wealth and power

We can take and take 'til we have it all

We live

In a gracious world

A forgiving world

And show our thanks with industry

Open eyes can see

Open mouths could speak

To change or rearrange

What should not be {taken}

So long

So long

So long

So long
