Self-inflicted Extinction Lyrics - Singles - Behind Enemy Lines

The human race is committing self-inflicted extinction 

Our actions are leading us down the path to annihilation 

Our apathy is sealing our fate 

We won't care until it's too late 

Once we're nearing extinction then we'll finally learn 

that there's no turning back from our lack of concern 

We're killing entire species of animals 

We're contaminating the oceans with our poisons and our chemicals 

When will we learn? 

Our actions are leading us down the path to annihilation 

We're clear-cutting the landscapes with massive deforestation 

We're overburdening the planet with the human population 

When will we learn? 

Our actions are leading us down the path to annihilation 

Once the natural resources are gone and the forests are uprooted 

Once the air is unbreathable and the water is all polluted 

Once we've scorched the planets surface and the food will no longer grow 

Once the ecosystem's been destroyed, where are we going to go? 

The world is not a waiting room until some fictious after-life resumes 

our role as infestations where we continue to consume 

We don't have access to another world where we can just move on 

This planet's our only chance at life and once it's been destroyed it's gone 

The radioactive waste we dump will outlast generations 

We elect the plunderers of the habitat who kill environmental legislation 

When will we learn? 

Our actions are leading us down the path to annihilation 

We're killing off everything in sight for our comfort and convenience 

We're destroying all possibilities for continuing our existence 

When will we learn? 

Our actions are leading us down the path to annihilation 

Look around, what do you see? 

Our very nature is destroying humanity 

It isn't the earth that needs our saving or help 

It will survive to see us bury ourselves
