Ndescribable how I feel
When I look around
The world is coming down on its knees
We're burning the very ground we live on, we live from
But they say it's okay
But I don't think we'll stand a change
If we don't live in another way

Oh, this can't go on
Open your eyes and see
'cause this life won't last for eternity
we are doing it wrong

Look back on the river of life, it will set you free
Here we are writing history tonight
These are the chains of glory for mankind

It's getting better all the time
Look how we improve
We manipulate in the name of progress
To give the world more food
I'm paralysed, hypnotised
by the game we play
The biggest problem in this world
Is that there are more of us each day

Oh, this can't go on
Open your eyes and see
'cause this life won't last for eternity
we are doing it wrong

Look back on the river of life, it will set you free
Here we are writing history tonight
These are the chains of glory for mankind
