Degradation of a civilization
Tempted to capitalize on commodities
I am fed up to see the fading of our true prosperity

I defy the lie
Through the years humility disappears
Covered insecurity a lack of self-esteem
Caught in sarcasm it is time we draw the line
Reality is structured in the face of decline

I defy the lie
Caught in the cycle of greed
That breaks the foundation of humanity
Force fed dreams consume the mind
Reduce the quality of life

Degradation of a civilization
Tempted to capitalize on commodities
I am fed up to see the fading of our true prosperity
