about

I started to learn a lot about capitalism at this period and in particular its destructive nature on the planet. I sometimes think the music is so good that we should have done it as an instrumental.

lyrics

Now's the time to count the cost.
Stop.

The world lives by profit and loss. Let me tell you what happens when the world lives by profit and loss. Unscrupulous and greedy people are driven to make as much money as quickly and easily as possible. Governments and corporations are also seduced by profit and loss. They sanctioned the wholesale destruction of the World's natural resources for the short-term benefit of their profits. What they're leaving behind for future generations is a legacy of their excrement. Such pernicious greed will inevitably and inexorably devour its own genitals - and where is the profit in that? In the meantime, the dispossessed, the homeless, the poor fisherman and peasants of this world pay for the luxuries of the greedy. Why do the greedy need so much when there is no profit and loss in being a human being? When there is no profit and loss in love? When there is no profit and loss - there is only life. And the only thing the greedy really need is to liberate themselves from the bondage of profit and loss. Maybe then they'll understand what true wealth, true power, really means.
Come on, give it up.

Now's the time the count the cost, what you gained what you've lost
Now's the time the count the cost, what you gained what you've lost
Now's the time the count the cost, what you gained what you've lost
Now's the time the count the cost, what you gained what you've lost
