Jet Set Ready

So I ask myself
Are we too far gone?
Because ever since we put our hands on the mill
We've been cutting strong
Blind to life
And the consequences of taking life
We're not jet set ready
We're sinking with the ship that we built too quickly
But we'll shift and reshift the blame
To keep it off our conscience that we helped to build it
So long
To the simple song
The balanced one
That's long, gone, forgotten by more than some
Minds burned while young
Pioneers gone wrong
Who won't cease
To live without oppressing life
And so long to the ways that we knew fit
With the world that we lived
In gracious world, a forgiving world
And show our thanks with industry
Open eyes can see
While open mouths could speak
To change or rearrange
What should not be taken
