How Much Is Enough - Lyrics by Bad Religion


Lyrics
Tell me can the hateful chain be broken? Production and consumption define our hollow lives.
Avarice has led us ’cross the ocean,
Toward a land that's better, much more bountiful and wide.
When will mankind finally come to realize
His surfeit has become his demise? How much is enough to kill yourself? That quantity is known today, as we blow ourselves away.
Tell me is there anything so sure? Rapacity, tenacity, capacity for more!
Like a dog that feeds until he suffers,
The infirmity of man is brough on by his selfish cure.
When will mankind finally come to realize
His surfeit has become his demise? How much is enough to kill yourself? That quantity is known today, as we blow ourselves away.
