Scars cut deep into the mountainside Logging hearses carry away the dead Strip mining, relentless destruction Wildlife forced away
to make room for the humyn kingdom I see fields and fields of agriculture row after row of monocrops, no diversity It's not so different from the factory farms where animals are confined
Ownership of people is slavery ownership of animals is the same thing But ownership of the land is taken for granted due to generations of blind acceptance No, you're not free, you never were But nothing really is, ll is controlled We're not the only one's having our autonomy stripped
In this Taker culture, anthropocentrism rules Domestivation of all life, the anti-thesis of liberation
We consume we pollute we exploit we ignore
We'll pass on a desolate world where all that grows is what we choose and all that lives is for our own use We purchase the land as if it's rightfully ours and don't give a second thought to the lives we destroy
We're the rulers of this prison we've set up for everything Wild animals and plants trapped in parks an preserves We're a part of this world just like everything else but we don't act that way
