The Corpses, We'Re Still Counting

We look for responses when we should find an answer People aren’t healing, just left with a scar We are divided when we could stand together Our freedom’s a trap that leads us so far They all speak of good future Well said, by a liar That’s all just a rumor The earth is on fire Riches, greedy; shadows a’lurking Millions of children Forcefully working The world, our home, it’s drowning The corpses, we’re still counting National disasters, murder forecasters The earth could be better without us We are our own barrier Those without hope The disease of death’s carrier Do all we can to cope National famine, a crop-barren floor Not a single flower Left any more
