Lyrics Growth - Manticora

Growth

Two times twelve is twenty-four — add the offspring then
Twelve times seven is eighty-four — add the offspring then
Thirty pairs times five amount to twice of seven score ten — Oh really then?
Overpopulating our only home
All together multiplying — completely blind
Breeding ourselves into this living hell
And no one dares to speak their mind
Famine, destruction, conflicts, all-out war
Consequences of an everlasting Growth of man
Elimination of other species on our behalf
And no one dares to speak, while they can
Human saturation — Overpopulation — Destruction within
Into oblivion — Obliteration — Why can’t reasoning win?
Keep on producing offspring
-They better not eat too much
Keep on sowing more fields with crops
-They better not use too much water
Why don’t you expand the cattle breeding
-They better tighten their bowels
Buy another plastic bottle of water
-Only twice the price of gasoline
Human saturation — Overpopulation — Destruction within
Into oblivion — Obliteration — Why can’t reasoning win?
It is incredible, how we’re condemning ourselves
To become extinct through sheer polluting volume
Critical mass will arrive before we know of it
And no one dares to speak, while they consume
