Life pollution

A selfish world

A burdened population 

The growing numbers

A need for inoculation 

But we all arise

From comfortable slumber

And live our lives

Burying out secrets 

Its been the only solution

Its just a little lite pollution.

 

A need for things

A lust for luxury

What our government brings

A system of structuring

Running water

Asphalt roads 

A street lamp in the night

Its been our only solution 

Its just a little light pollution 

 

A hunger for distraction 

A screen glaring bright 

Something to comfort us in the night

The endless 30 seconds

Stuck on repeat 

Leaving us stuck in our seat

Its been our only solution 

Its just a little life pollution 

 

The culmination of choice

Choosing comfort and ease

Taking from the planet

Without saying please

Running through the resources 

Not replenishing what we stole

Our insatiable hunger

Taking its toll

No regard for life

Our only solution 

To live this life of pollution
