How can the people who run large corporations that pollute the environment
sleep at night? It seems they don't even care about their own children. They
obviously don't care about their future generations. Is all that money worth
destroying the world in which we live? And the politicians. They are
worse. They've turned "By the people, for the people" into "By the
corporation, for the corporation". They have sold the public trust for
pennies on the dollar.

LIVIN' IN THE DECAY
Livin' in the decay.
Livin' in the waste.
Livin' day by day.
Is what we must face.
The pollution,
The destruction,
The contamination.
Livin' in the decay.
The hard facts of the
situation.
Are the problems,
Are here to stay.
And the short cuts,
Are no easy solutions.
Livin' in the decay.
The walls we must break
through,
Won't go away.
But what's left for us to do?
Livin' day by day.
The mountains we must climb,
Will not get out of the way.
Here we are,
At the scene of the crime.
Livin' in the decay.
What's left is mine.
An' I don't care to hear,
What it is,
That you have to say.
I can read the sign.
Livin' day by day.
'Cause we're the last in
line.
The world is a game,
We must play.
It's all the same,
Our future's short on time.
And we're livin' in the
decay.
Wading through the slime,
You left in our way.
Your debt,
We have to pay.
Covering your bet,
Everyday.
Watching the colors fade,
To gray.
Day by day.
And the world you made,
Drifting into decay.
Your bill unpaid.
Livin' in the decay.
Day by day.
