[Verse 1]
Tell me can the hateful chain be broken?
Production and consumption define our hollow lives
Avarice has led us across the ocean
Toward a land that's better, much more bountiful and wide

[Chorus]
When will mankind finally come to realize
His surfeit has become his demise?
How much is enough to kill yourself?
That quantity is known today, as we blow ourselves away

[Verse 2]
Tell me is there anything so sure?
Rapacity, tenacity, capacity for more!
Like a dog that feeds until he suffers
The infirmity of man is brought on by his selfish cure

[Chorus]
When will mankind finally come to realize
His surfeit has become his demise?
How much is enough to kill yourself?
That quantity is known today, as we blow ourselves away
