Functional
Sustainable Questions: Unveiling the Dichotomy of Progress
Lyrics
We are functional, we are efficient
We prioritize functionality and efficiency.
We are prepared and self sufficient
We are ready and self-sufficient.
And we only destroy for the greater good
Destruction is only for the greater good.
So you can be free to consume more as you should
Freedom to consume is facilitated by our actions.
And lead a better life
Our goal is to lead a better life collectively.
Where is the line
Questioning the boundary between progress and decline.
Between progress and decline?
Exploring the unclear division between advancement and deterioration.
What is the price to stop ruining life?
Considering the cost of preventing harm to life.
Why is functional worth more than sustainability?
Raising the question of why functionality is valued more than sustainability.
Why are we so comfortable in our gullibility?
Reflecting on our comfort in being easily deceived.
We are dysfunctional and inefficient
Highlighting dysfunctionality and inefficiency.
We're unprepared, we are deficient
Acknowledging unpreparedness and deficiency.
And we only kill for the bottom line
Killing is justified for profit.
So you can be free to consume more as you should
Enabling increased consumption for societal freedom.
And lead a better life
Striving for a collectively improved life.
Where is the line
Raising the same question about the line between progress and decline.
Between progress and decline?
Reiterating the ambiguity in distinguishing progress from decline.
What is the price to stop ruining lives?
Examining the cost of preventing damage to lives.
Why is functional worth more than sustainability?
Questioning the higher value placed on functionality over sustainability.
Why are we so comfortable in our gullibility?
Challenging our complacency in being easily deceived.
What happened that made us want to be blind?
Asking about the event that made us willingly blind to certain truths.
What is it in us that made us believe in all of the lies?
Questioning the internal factors that lead us to believe in lies.
Spoon fed to us
Noting that lies are fed to us, implying manipulation.
By the ones who always stand to profit from our loss
Critiquing those who profit from our losses by manipulating us.
Exploiting our misery and selling it back to us for a cost
Highlighting the exploitation of misery for financial gain.
Where is the line
Persisting questions about the line between progress and decline.
Between progress and decline?
Repeating the inquiry into the ambiguous boundary of progress and decline.
What is the price to stop ruining lives?
Continuing to question the cost of preventing harm to lives.
Why is functional worth more than sustainability?
Reiterating the inquiry into the higher value assigned to functionality over sustainability.
Why are we so comfortable in our gullibility?
Persisting reflection on our comfort in being easily deceived.
