To Preserve Our Standard Of Living

To preserve our standard of living
Horrors take place in our name
The public, afraid to look at the truth
Turn a blind eye to the shame

To preserve our standard of living
Our culture surrounds us with lies
To justify acts which inevitably
Dictate how the other half dies

To preserve our standard of living
TV acts as an anaesthetic
A public obsessed with soap operas
Will always remain apathetic

To preserve our standard of living
The Earth we depend on is dying
For how long can we keep ignoring the facts?
For how long can we keep denying?
