Sir, I am not your toy

I've seen this righteous joy

I've seen this massive death

Inhaled the poison breath

Sir I am not your tool

You're the one who's a fool

I've worked the poison mines

While you wore suits so fine

Sir I am not your friend

I've nothing to amend

I will not toil for you

Don't tell me what to do

Sir I am not your love

You let my brother starve

You let my people die

Tell yourself you can lie

------

You're not the bleeding child

You're not the soul that's lost

You're not the untamed wild

We're not the car's exhaust

------

Devastation, desolation

Desecration, exploitation

Inequality sold as liberty

Desperate poverty sparks monstrosity

Gnaw those higher, light the fire

Pain makes liars, we conspire

Physicality's exclusivity

Come together for our true liberty

-------

Sir you are ignorant

All the cash that you've spent

Will be the rope with which

We'll hang your body, bitch

Sir you have got no clue

How the masses love true

You don't know how we bleed

You with your selfish creed

Sir yet you think you know

And that power must flow

Straight to your fattened hands

You cannot feel these lands

Life Force is not a man

She is the Loving Plan

She shields the poor and hurt

Who must be meek and curt

-------

You're not the wise old crone

You're not reduced to ash

You're not here all alone

We're not the dirty trash

------

Devastation, desolation

Desecration, exploitation

Inequality sold as liberty

Desperate poverty sparks monstrosity

Gnaw those higher, light the fire

Pain makes liars, we conspire

Physicality's exclusivity

Come together for our true liberty

------

Whereas recognition of the inherent dignity and of the equal and inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world.

Rather than treating nature as property under the law, rights of nature acknowledges that nature in all its life forms has the right to exist, persist, maintain and regenerate its vital cycles.

------

Devastation, desolation

Desecration, exploitation

Inequality sold as liberty

Desperate poverty sparks monstrosity

Gnaw those higher, light the fire

Pain makes liars, we conspire

Physicality's exclusivity

Come together for our true liberty
