Can we please reach near escape velocity
I'm dying and need to leave orbit
The life in me broken, harvested
Upon this planet all hope died
Targeted for slaughter long ago
Upon this planet all hope died
Targeted for slaughter long ago
A bankrupt materialist philosophy
Modernity made me an orphan
I'm left with no esteem or an ego
There's nothing left of me for you
Our worth to capitalism and greed
Means we will never be freed
Trapped here, members of the zoo
Every baby born means a worker
Every worker means more money
For a rich owner gathering funds
To fund a new venture, off planet
So that he'll be the only one
To enjoy the fruits of our labors
To enjoy the life here
Means we will never be freed
Trapped here, members of the zoo
Every baby born means a worker
Every worker means more money
For a rich owner gathering funds
To fund a new venture, off planet
So that he'll be the only one
To enjoy the fruits of our labors
To enjoy the life here
On this planet
That we should all be able to have
Ideals like theirs damned it
So we must flee
We must be freed
That we should all be able to have
Ideals like theirs damned it
So we must flee
We must be freed
Of the chains of humanity
“Desperation is the raw material of drastic change. Only those who can leave
behind everything they have ever believed in can hope to escape. ”
William S. Burroughs
