I weep for lives lost and nature slain I weep for the murder done in the name Of converting all life into profit I weep for I fear, I know, I can't stop it The White Man's Burden of Globalization Marches on to no destination Reducing all life in its path To numbers, products, trash On and on, The Trail of Tears never ends Tribal peoples exterminated for their lands On and on, The Trail of Tears never ends Holocaust upon holocaust forged in the wake Of our demands Indoctrinated by this culture To consume without regard To who or what may have been exploited All that matters is if you can afford it On and on, The Trail of Tears never ends Ecosystems devastated beyond repair On and on, The Trail of Tears never ends Genocide after genocide done to the land That is not ours I weep for lives lost and for nature slain I weep for the murder that is done in the name Of converting all life into profit I weep because I know I'm part of it It never ends

I gave my all, and to no avail A withered soul of so few years A youth becoming stale The weight of failure and disenchantment The albatross around the neck As I gaze into the abyss, it stares right back Pacing, seething Like a beast in captivity Scowling out from within the cage of this society Clawing, gnawing Until claw and tooth grind thin Trapped inside this culture fighting wars that I can't win I confess: I dream of eternal rest When all of this madness ceases to be At last, I will be at peace But for now, in the interim The question remains of how to exist while knowing All efforts made for change Will likely be in vain I fear it's all in vain Violence swells within my veins As patience wanes There's nothing left to lose except The thunder in my heart Let it roar!

It's like sticking needles in the eyes to consider what we've done Only a culture gone insane would destroy its home yet we infect the rivers with our waste And we drink those cancers in drunken haste Down to the marrow of our bones It's suicide! But if you are one guided by love Then you know there are deeds - deeds which must be done Because we have nowhere left to run Can't wait for the state to make amends Nor for the masses to comprehend How do you speak to a society Preoccupied with celebrities in times like these? There is no reasoning with insanity You'll see! Dissent will be vilified Legal action will run its course If we long for justice in this world We'll just have to make it by force
