Story behind the song
Overpopulation and overconsumption contributes to every problem on this planet. This is my comment.
Lyrics
There’s a New Day Comin’ Runnin’ in the wrong direction Building debts that we can never repay We fall on our knees and we worship The God of Growth everyday We can’t keep growing forever It’s a race that can never be won They say bigger is better, gospel truth to the letter It’s the way that things have always been done But there’s a new day comin’ There’s a new day comin’ Now the fish have been caught from the ocean And the water pumped out of the ground People have stolen the places Where the wild and the free could be found We can stand up, or sit and so nothing Turn our backs and say good-bye to it all Shut him up, it don’t matter Put the pork on the platter And pretend there are no words on the wall But there’s a new day comin’ There’s a new day comin’ If enough of us see that it’s over If the rich man will open his eyes We can slip through the eye of the needle And we’ll each get a piece of the pie Make a choice, choose a life that’s worth living Not existence God didn’t intend Let’s stop a little bit until reality hits And then start all over again. There’s a new day comin’ There’s a new day comin’ There’s a new day comin’
