We think we are wise
We think that we know
That we've unlocked the secrets of life
We think we have learned our lesson
But look at the world around
Poverty and hunger
Shells scattered upon the ground
We scream that we're free
Dressed in sugar and lace
Ignoring the truth, wrapped in selfish grace
Our world is shrinking, our island is small
Civilization has turned, and we're losing it all
