Let’s get out of this uncomfortable stream
Just let’s yell and scream
As fowls scream when fleeing danger
Let’s get out of this dangerous manger
Into a neat peaceful manger
Of the colourless oasis
This filthy muddy poisoned gutter water will not do
We have paid so much and so deserve much more
We have paid too much to be pushed by those we fed and are still feeding
Into a box of death
By suffocating and killing us slowly through our own living water
We are different fishes in this same corrupted deep sea
Though we aim for the flesh of the other
Let’s hold our bloody thirst for each other
And as ants form their strength in times of strain
Hold hands as we take huge difficult steps from this water turned poison
On the vehicle of togetherness
To reach the rich ocean devoid of even dirt
We can part ways then after succeeding to do away with pigs trusted and mandated
To till the sea but ended up turning it into a stinky muddy habitat filled with mono gas
