Sustain

We are but solo figures that walk the department stores Held captive and enchanted by our capitalist laws I DON'T WANT TO BUY I DON'T WANT TO BUY I Cant be the only one who hears the earth cry ! It's buckling and creaking under the strain We rape, log and mine and repay in acid rain How long can we survive How long can we sustain The present principle is to keep you thoughts to a minimal Shop, work, consume and buy more digital Work six days and forget the kids They're now educated by a stack of vids So are you happy with your life of excess ? Armed with a swath of cards and the need to impress However there is a middle ground you see Attainable to both you and me No credit card bill no new magic pill Just your family and some earth to till Live off the land with your own two hands For that is the true way of man. No desire for the best And more than the rest No keeping up with Jones Which require vast loans And leads to mental anguish and pain So is this your form of bliss How long can this sustain.
