Behind Enemy Lines - Self-inflicted Extinction lyrics

The human race is committing self-inflicted extinction Our actions are leading us down the path to annihilation Our apathy is sealing our fate We won't care until it's too late Once we're nearing extinction then we'll finally learn that there's no turning back from our lack of concern We're k**ing entire species of animals We're contaminating the oceans with our poisons and our chemicals When will we learn? Our actions are leading us down the path to annihilation We're clear-cutting the landscapes with ma**ive deforestation We're overburdening the planet with the human population When will we learn? Our actions are leading us down the path to annihilation Once the natural resources are gone and the forests are uprooted Once the air is unbreathable and the water is all polluted Once we've scorched the planets surface and the food will no longer grow Once the ecosystem's been destroyed, where are we going to go? The world is not a waiting room until some fictious after-life resumes our role as infestations where we continue to consume We don't have access to another world where we can just move on This planet's our only chance at life and once it's been destroyed it's gone The radioactive waste we dump will outlast generations We elect the plunderers of the habitat who k** environmental legislation When will we learn? Our actions are leading us down the path to annihilation We're k**ing off everything in sight for our comfort and convenience We're destroying all possibilities for continuing our existence When will we learn? Our actions are leading us down the path to annihilation Look around, what do you see? Our very nature is destroying humanity It isn't the earth that needs our saving or help It will survive to see us bury ourselves
