Storm and sea Punish us piece by piece But world economy must grow If we drown, we drown in luxury Why should we save lives we'll never meet? Why should we not destroy? ...ourselves We're dancing to the end on volcanoes Screaming pantomimes in our ears At night, we set our beds ablaze Orphaning the future - orphaning ourselves The change we cause Will slowly destroy your tiny world And you have nothing to stay You're helpless Consumed Why should we save lives we'll never meet? Why should we not destroy ourselves?
