Lyrics
Time's running out on this merry go round
Time is running out on the continuous cycle of life.
A foolish pick is played - the running game
A reckless decision is made, engaging in a relentless pursuit.
And all the warning signs the plodding rush of time
Warning signs are overlooked amidst the slow progression of time.
That we all sullen muddle through
We collectively navigate through a gloomy and confused existence.
And now we bow down and pray at the neon god we made
We now worship and seek solace from the consequences of our own actions.
That we bought in haste for selfish gain
We hastily embraced a destructive influence for personal benefit.
And now we can't turn around till we take the whole thing down
We are committed to a destructive path until we dismantle the entire system.
With a dear price on our head
This comes at a significant cost, with consequences on our lives.
The animals know what's in store
Animals instinctively sense impending challenges.
The have plenty enough's all beg for more
The content ones desire more, overlooking their abundance.
And we all forgot what we're fighting for
We've lost sight of the reasons for our struggles.
A foolish prize we just can't ignore
A seemingly trivial reward that cannot be disregarded.
Now it's consumption by design on the production line
Consumerism is deliberately planned in the manufacturing process.
We tally up the sums for lucky ones
We calculate gains for a fortunate few on the production line.
It's the have and have nots cause the system's all been bought
The societal divide exists because the system is manipulated by the privileged.
For the fortunate and few
It caters to the fortunate, leaving out the majority.
And we know when life gets hard we start charging up our cards
In tough times, we resort to accumulating debt.
So many goods to use how can you refuse?
The abundance of goods makes it challenging to resist.
So ignore the missing bees, the climate rising by degrees
We ignore environmental issues and rest our heads in ignorance.
And lay down your weary head
The animals know what's in store
Animals foresee the impending challenges ahead.
The have plenty enough's all beg for more
Even those with plenty desire more without appreciating what they have.
And we all forgot what we're fighting for
We've forgotten the true purpose of our struggles.
A foolish prize we just can't ignore
A seemingly insignificant reward that cannot be overlooked.
The animals know what's in store
Animals anticipate challenges, mirroring human behavior.
The have plenty enough's all beg for more
Even the content ones desire more without realizing their abundance.
And we don't know what we're fighting for
We are uncertain about the true reasons behind our struggles.
A foolish prize
A seemingly trivial reward that cannot be ignored.
The animals know what's in store
Animals foresee challenges, reflecting human behavior.
The have plenty enough's all beg for more
Even those with plenty desire more without acknowledging their abundance.
And we don't know what we're fighting for
We are uncertain about the true reasons behind our struggles.
A foolish prize, just can't ignore
A seemingly trivial reward that cannot be ignored.
