Can't Be Ignored

Time's running out on this merry go round

A foolish pick is played – the running game

And all the warning signs the plodding rush of time

That we all sullen muddle through

And now we bow down and pray at the neon God we made

That we bought in haste for selfish gain

And now we can't turn around till we take the whole thing down

With a dear price on our head

The animals know what's in store

The have plenty enough's all beg for more

And we all forgot what we're fighting for

A foolish prize we just can't ignore

Now it's consumption by design on the production line

We tally up the sums for lucky ones

It's the have and have nots cause the system's all been bought

For the fortunate and few

And we know when life gets hard we start charging up our cards

So many goods to use how can you refuse?

So ignore the missing bees, the climate rising by degrees

And lay down your weary head

The animals know what's in store

The have plenty enough's all beg for more

And we all forgot what we're fighting for

A foolish prize we just can't ignore

The animals know what's in store

The have plenty enough's all beg for more

And we don't know what we're fighting for

A foolish prize

The animals know what's in store

The have plenty enough's all beg for more

And we don't know what we're fighting for

A foolish prize, just can't ignore
