all fall down - against all authority

the air stings my eyes
the water burns my skin
I've seen the reactions through my actions
but I don't try to change a thing at all
we're taught to close our eyes
and conditioned to believe their lies
as we watch them
rape the land and skies
to build the things
that own our lives
and we'll never stop
were driven by greed
we'll never stop
we take more than we need
and they'll never stop
the politicians with their lies
the corporations wont compromise
but still we refuse to change our lives
and - we all fall down -
we do what is convenient for ourselves
without regard for our surroundings
or each other
and take what we want
and discard the rest
never looking back
at the damage
that we've done
always moving forward
closer to oblivion
