21st century catastrophe

We take and we take
how much will it take
till we break the balance we need
its beyond imagination
the scale of devastation
brought by these nations of greed
with no restrictions
on fossil fuel emissions
or pollution in the air we breathe
weve over fished the seas
and cut down all the trees
its a state of emergency

[chorus]
what does it mean to you and me
21st century catastrophe
itll go down in history
21st century catastrophe
the problem is starvation
and overpopulation
people need food and heat
gotta to change the way we live
because the sad fact is
theres too many people to feed once again now
we take and we take
how much will it take
till we break the balance we need
its hard to imagine
what is gonna happen
to the future of humanity
the next generation
will inherit devastation
left by our ignorant greed
weve over fished the seas
and cut down all the trees
its a state of emergency

[chorus]

no limit to what we consume
progress has sealed our fate
embrace our impending doom
we dont have long to wait
the filth of our industry
spreading like a disease
corrupting all that we see
the achievement of humanity!
