21st Century Catastrophe

we take and we take

how much will it take

till we break the balance we need

it's beyond imagination

the scale of devastation

brought by these nations of greed

with no restrictions

on fossil fuel emissions

or pollution in the air we breathe

we've over fished the seas

and cut down all the trees

it's a state of emergency

[chorus]

what does it mean to you and me

21st century catastrophe

it'll go down in history

21st century catastrophe

the problem is starvation

and overpopulation

people need food and heat

gotta to change the way we live

because the sad fact is

there's too many people to feed

once again now

we take and we take

how much will it take

till we break the balance we need

it's hard to imagine

what is gonna happen

to the future of humanity

the next generation

will inherit devastation

left by our ignorant greed

we've over fished the seas

and cut down all the trees

it's a state of emergency

[chorus]

no limit to what we consume

progress has sealed our fate

embrace our impending doom

we don't have long to wait

the filth of our industry

spreading like a disease

corrupting all that we see

the achievement of humanity!
