Cycles Of Survival

Yo, I wake up every day and think until my brain hurts

Staring at the sun on the bus on the way to work

I see the city and it's really hard to tell

If this building that we're doing's making heaven or making hell

Here in the west where money is our food

And we serve the economy and work is what we do

I got a boss over me and there's a boss over him

We're adding to this cash food chain that we're in

Well we plan on tomorrows and we plan on the months

But when I think of the future man I find it really tough

'Cause the sea level's rising and drought's stricken horizons

I read the newspapers and the facts burn my eyelids

I'm silent on the surface, screaming underneath

Death speaks on the winds and he whispers with the breeze

And he says there's not long Brian, there's not long to go

Until I'm gonna claim everything that you know

But we wake in the morning and we sleep in the night

And every day I be told that everything is alright

With this cycle of survival here that I live in

This cycle of survival here that I live in

But we wake in the morning and we sleep in the night

And every day I be told that everything is alright

With this cycle of survival here that I live in

This cycle of survival here that I live in

I play along and pretend to be blinded man

I say it's okay too, spreading the lies and man

I try to do my hardest to forget our demise

But every smile is one more pathetic disguise

Our fresh water supplies in steady decline

We're clutching at straws to find clean energy ties

Materialise to fit into generic design

In debt with the credit to buy whatever we like

I don't remember the vile events of our times

Suppressing my rage just like Jekyll and Hyde

And the truth I conceal's like the devil inside

I'm sending for guidance in the smoke and predator skies

The situation at hand is breaking our backs

When the land's more important than inflation or tax

The machine's moving forward, there's a change in its tracks
