How Much Is Too Much?

In a world of feast or famine
Where the poor can\'t feed themselves 
How much is too much? 
Is the question we should ask ourselves

Premeditated self destruction 
It\'s a conscious decision 
We\'re the only living organism
That doesn\'t develop a natural equilibrium 

Recession is a necessity 
A blessing in disguise 
Over population
We multiply like flies

The bully in the chow hall queue 
We take more than our fair portion
I feel sorry for the planet 
Mother Earth should have had an abortion 

We\'re living in period of ignorance 
Our heads buried in the sand 
Multiplying like bacteria 
Pillaging the land

A one sided relationship 
We need to reach a compromise
Rotting in our steel coffins 
Belching poison into the skies

How can we sleep at night?
When there are starving mouths to feed
All you can eat buffets... 
Another definition of greed

How much is too much? 
Ask a man who really knows
Sleeping under clear skies at night 
Trash bags for pillows

How much is too much?
Don\'t all raise your hands at once
How many of our needs
Are actually wants?

Our Mother’s illness is terminal 
Read her her last rights
Sucking the lifeblood from our host
We are ticks and parasites

We are a cancer to the Earth
It\'s plainly clear to see
Ignorance will be the cause of death
At Mother Earths\' autopsy
