The world was once green
It still is –
In a way
Except it’s the mind that’s green now
Green greed
Dollar sign pupils
Designer model peoples
I can’t tell
What we want more
Life or luxury
A life of luxury?
But is it really living
When the other side’s in tragedy
–
We care
We do
I gave a dollar to the foundation too
Tax-deductible
Saves me a couple
But my conscience
Is really what’s spared
–
He’ll spend it on alcohol
She’s only into drugs
They put themselves there
Aren’t they one of us?
–
Humanity
A commodity
Population at an all-time high
The dollars fly
–
As they need it
We want it
As we get it
They try
And survive
While we live
–
But is it really living
When the other side’s in tragedy?
