Best For Me Society
A what’s best for me society
Less for you and more for me
Self absorption and ruin our legacy
Misery as far as your blinded eyes can see
The essential things we all so rarely appreciate
We want more as the Earth’s resources dissipate
On your neighbors you continue to dine
Overfed beasts at the end of the line
From this gluttonous trough they hastily feed
Slobbering mouths overflowing with more than they need
Living to ruthlessly destroy and carelessly breed
Self absorption, short sightedness, and mass instinct of greed
We live in a what’s best for me society
It’s all a true reflection of selfish humanity
Too many too self involved or unintelligent to ever understand
All I see are bloated bodies with their awful heads in the sand
Slowly suffocating but still living it up in the now
The virus tells itself it will all work out somehow
I'm embarrassed to be a part of the human race
This virus someday gone without a trace
They lived it up for themselves today
But they didn’t care they buried tomorrow
On slop made from neighbors they feed
Used it up, mass instinct of greed
With this debilitating anger now I have been overcome
They all play their parts so well but I threw away my script
An alien to others due to hate for humans I have become
Say they care for their children’s future but their actions contradict
With this debilitating anger now I have been overcome
Love playing their parts since to deal with reality they're not equipped
An alien to others due to hate for humans I have become
Strange comfort in knowing extinction will stop the damage we inflict
Stinky and self absorbed slobs at the trough
It's all about themselves getting better off
The main priority of me, myself and I
Suck it all up as your friends and family dry up and die
Stinky and self absorbed slobs at the trough
It's all about getting themselves off
This instinct leading us to go extinct
It’s all just here for us to use
This instinct leading us to go extinct
It’s all just here for us to abuse
This instinct leading us to go extinct
None of it's about you, it’s all about me
This instinct leading us to go extinct
The disaster of the what’s best for me society
What’s best for me
What’s best for us until we’re exterminated
What’s best for me
What’s best for us until we’re eradicated
What’s best for me society
Less for you and more for me
Self absorption and ruin our legacy
We live in a what’s best for me society
It’s all a true reflection of selfish humanity
What's best for me
A treasure trove of wasteful fools always fueling my fire
A circle of flames spreading uncontained from my ire
Now there’s no where left for this outrage to spread
Leaving the stain of smoking ashes inside of my charred head
