by Our world runs on super-exploitation
by powerful people that think we’re in a simulation
pushing us down a road that leads to decimation
unless we unite and fight like we’re one human nation.
The future’s not fated,
so don’t be sated
into believing we’re predestinated
to be eradicated.
The profiteers are elated
that you are fixated
on making their problems individuated.
That framework was created
By those who do not want debated
a problem that’s corporate-dominated.
Billionaires congratulated
for contributions exaggerated
Their studies are manipulated
crafted so they’re exonerated.
We’re over-alienated
and under-compensated
They claim to be elevated
and that we’re uneducated
but in truth it’s not that complicated.
We’ve got the tech to succeed.
Humans are not a weed.
With billionaire greed in the lead
We can’t serve human need,
But without a world run for-profit we can proceed.
We can recycle materials that today are just lost,
so the vital resources we have will never exhaust.
We can hold onto that precious permafrost.
Capitalism lowers prices, but does so at what cost?
The cost is you, the cost is me,
the cost is our future getting drowned in the sea.
Stolen lands and people, this system’s never been free
Or been the only way that humans can be.
We can be a boon not a blight
A bright future’s in sight
Reparations for every slight
Together we can make it right.
Not just right, but better.
Even if you think you got your cheddar
We’re not a forever endeavor
If the power lever’s not severed.
All we need shines down all over the land,
but you can’t make a buck if we meet all our demand
with wind, water, and solar, the rest can disband
and give power to the people if intentionally planned.
