Its all going to go away

so use up all you can today

Hoard all the manna of progress you find,

suck it all down til it makes you go blind

You were drinking your ambrosia and feeding on the fat

as the dinner bell of plenty started ringing flat.

You were basking in the sweetness of luxury and leisure,

wading in the excrement of unconscionable pleasure

Buy a thing, another thing, and then some things to house them,

eat the leaves and gnaw the roots and suck the juicy stems.

Frivolous and carefree, living second to second

(the skeletal hand of the future now beckons).

Spend your way to nowhere with debts youll never manage

Soulless and rapacious and mindless of the damage

Driving towards the better life (always one purchase farther)

down a road paved with all the lives our countries bartered

Driving by in my SUV.

The worlds is a playground for your appetites,

as long as it feels good it must be right.

And little dark people are working so hard

so you can max out your fat credit card.

You have hungers and desires the past could not imagine

and you dont see how your consumption fans the fires of famine.

Images flicker on the screen that speak of desperation

caused by the sick desires of a fat decadent nation.

Watch them die on my big TV.
