The Tragedy Of The Commons

To another commotion To another disruption To another explosion I raise my glass To another investment Into the future of wasteland Well here's to pulling the waistband

But I know at least I thought, at least I fight At least I know at least I tried I know I thought, I know I'll fight Tonight I kiss the world goodbye

We are one, and one is all Through self-destruction we fall Close your eyes, to darkened skies Our ignorant demise

To another obsession Over another possession Another deal well made Well I raise my glass And to the blissful ignoring That the unclaimable objects Decide our pitfall or prospect

I know at least I thought, at least I fight At least I know at least I tried I know I thought, I know I'll fight Tonight I kiss the world goodbye

We are one, as one we fall Our self-destruction of all Close your eyes, to darkened skies Our ignorance in demise

This will lead to personal gain But I won't feel any personal pain All the global implications in vain Yes the price is high but so are the stakes This belongs to all of us so really this belongs to no one at all When it comes to owning up to our fall Better brace yourself for the end of it all
