Against Me! - In the Name of What lyrics

Here nothing grows here nothing lives
Do you dream of the future or
Do you live in the past?
Are you out for humanity or a gender, race
Or class? Are you diligently fighting
With the movement
Or fighting the blind cause?

If you were given freedom would
That be an end?
If you were given the means would
You use them to your benefit?

Could you survive in this world
Without your fucking technology?
Your conveniences that have cowardly carved
A brilliant way of life
Dependent on oppression of the way
Of nature pollute the
Environment for a cheap fix
Of flexing useless capabilities

All in the name of what? Our arrogance
This need for dominance
Well I am not so blind

Despite our belief we are not
The greatest species in existence
We are not the missing link
This is not advancement
The turth remains the same
As we push forward searching for our destiny
Which we know damn well is death
I sing a song in desperation for the dying
Those who could all be helped so easily
Those who fill your fucking plate

All in the name of what? Our arrogance
This need for dominance
Well I am not so blind
