Century of Shame

When the birds are spilling down from the sky 
And all the ocean dwellers are floating 
Human carelessness and greed will be why
It's the environment we are choking 
Everyday we continue provoking 
Raping the the planet that keeps us alive
Damage is massive and trivialized
There's no species as covetous as us
A century of shame we symbolize 
Always wanting more, it's never enough
