Lyrics
Slow renewing systems all  disappearing quick,  ecologies of living things  wiped away in human play as we wield our shtick Instead of seeking harmony industries consume  that which would renew itself and all that we need we doom in breakneck extraction, burning up our home till nothing's left to feed our growth and we are left alone Our world is locked in overshoot Soon all we do becoming moot  As we squander all our loot And disappear in overshoot Overshoot overshoot  consume the seed and cut the root Tomorrow is but days away Ecology the only way It's cycles offer all we need Beyond the realm of human greed The Sun that grows our planet's fruit Can solve our deathly overshoot The future is within our grasp In overshoot we cannot last The change required Must b fast
