Humanity is breaking it's a rabid disease There's death in the soil And it's sprouting through the leaves Now all that's left is decrepit tombstones teeth and bones All the rest washed down the drain Salvage what you can, and cling to your seeds If we don't stop them soon, all the crops will turn to weeds No food to be found, it's all rotting in the ground Our graves are underneath their garlic plots We're caged animals There's life beyond the fences We live our whole lives inside barbed wire pens We live our whole lives inside of them Germinating poison, building empires made of glass Common decency's a virtue that we're leaving in the past It's hard to reap the benefits of life When big business soweth plague So throw the vermin in the compost bin And plant a seed of lead, put it right between their eyes And bite the hand that feeds you 'Cause it's plotting your demise Then feed the earthworms, mites, And slugs a kickshaw of corporate trash And house the maggots in their hollowed skulls We're caged animals There's life beyond the fences We live our whole inside barbed wire pens We live our whole lives inside of them When will we put oil on these grinding gears? Lubricate our minds with something more than just beers We'll be afraid our whole lives if we don't deal with our fears So let's start the fire that's been smoking for years With the right tools we could fix this evil machine Rearrange all the parts to make it work for our dreams It'll run on ambition and the engine will roar So flip it up to fifth gear and put your foot to the floor
