lyrics

You're born into a cycle
you can't escape its iron grip
Your on a vessel that's set sail
sorry son you can't jump ship
Born into a world
hurtling towards self-destruction
you are taught many lies
disquised as instruction
living in a land
that exists just to sell
progress' destination is the fires of hell

Burn the oil
cut down the trees
Poison the soil
Mother nature's on her knees

Burn the oil
cut down the trees
Poison the soil
Mother nature's on her knees

You can't run, you can't hide
you're in the passenger seat
just along for the ride
boiling water
soon to be steam
There ain't no bigger picture
in you're own little dream
We are tyrants, we are slaves
from our craddles to our graves
lost and never found
from the womb straight to the ground

Redemption is to much to ask
So I must demand
No the evil has not been done
By the fingers of my hand
we have no choice
but to join the fun
we yield to the power of the barrel of gun
Lord, I have sinned the deed is done
you're richness wasted the blood has run

Burn the oil
cut down the trees
Poison the soil
Mother nature's on her knees

Seeing this, Paul, Jean-Phillippe and Lucas decided to become more than bums with instruments and thus the Street Meat was served, spiced to perfection ... more
