What Happens Next? - Conditioned Consumption Songtexte

Almost everyday we hear about how some processed, refined, pesticide-ridden or over-cooked food has been found to be carcinogenic. Yet people will rarely look at or question their own diet, what they eat and how it's prepared. Despite our lengthy time on earth it has been a relatively short time in the scheme of things that humankind has harnessed fire and used it for cooking, as well as begun to refrigerate, irradiate, and store our food in plastic and glass containers and packaging. We consume a diet of garbage and then pay the price for it. Eat lesser, eat better, eat rawer, eat organic.

conditioned consumption without question
so far removed from nature's laws
it seems we've lost direction
we indulge ourselves with poisons
desecrate ourselves with toxins
and laugh in the face of death for the sake of convenience
we reject the essentials just consume what we like
refined processed contaminants which we've been fed all our lives
excessive packaging waste prepackaged for land fill
we pollute our bodies we destroy the earth
contamination of a sacred temple
we defile ourselves and we wonder why
we are they way we are the way we are
crash course for self destruction
we remove all traces of nutrients that protect us from disease
