[Vegan Footsoldier - Systems ft. Moby lyrics]
In the beginning
We were a desperate species we needed
Things, and if you had things you were happy
You
Were fed, you survived the things saved us
Things like food, weapons, shelter but after
Eons of struggle
We won the old deaths had left us alone
Our ancestors died of rotten
Teeth and starvation and
Disease our ancestors pushed back and they
Won but we kept going we kept eating
As if we were about to
Starve, we kept fighting even though the old
Enemies were gone we kept destroying the
Environment even though we were
Only destroying ourselves
We built great cities, great industries
Great systems
These systems were supposed to feed us
But instead, they’ve killed the animals, the
Land and us these systems were supposed
To protect us but instead
They’ve poisoned our air
And our water these systems were supposed to
Serve us but instead they're killing us
We’re still acting as our
Ancestors acted grasping
For food, destroying nature, killing animals
Killing each other
Maintaining systems that haven’t worked in a
Long time these systems are
Killing us these systems are killing
Everything these systems are failing
Let them fail
We were a desperate species we needed
Things, and if you had things you were happy
You
Were fed, you survived the things saved us
Things like food, weapons, shelter but after
Eons of struggle
We won the old deaths had left us alone
Our ancestors died of rotten
Teeth and starvation and
Disease our ancestors pushed back and they
Won but we kept going we kept eating
As if we were about to
Starve, we kept fighting even though the old
Enemies were gone we kept destroying the
Environment even though we were
Only destroying ourselves
We built great cities, great industries
Great systems
These systems were supposed to feed us
But instead, they’ve killed the animals, the
Land and us these systems were supposed
To protect us but instead
They’ve poisoned our air
And our water these systems were supposed to
Serve us but instead they're killing us
We’re still acting as our
Ancestors acted grasping
For food, destroying nature, killing animals
Killing each other
Maintaining systems that haven’t worked in a
Long time these systems are
Killing us these systems are killing
Everything these systems are failing
Let them fail
