Growth - Manticora

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
