Consume To Live Lyrics - Singles - Threshold

Living in the greenhouse growing crops that we can't eat 

Making money out of poverty turning forests into meat 

We got our fingers on the trigger of some suicidal gun 

The population's getting bigger underneath a dying sun 

There's a fire in the furnace and there's nothing left to burn 

Buried waste has reached the surface is there nothing left to learn? 

Every day ozone getting layered every way life is getting worse 

Everybody's lung is getting cancer everyone has something more to lose 

Every country armies are rising every gene splitting into two 

Every breath monoxide getting stronger every sea whales are beached

Economies are growing subsistence life is dead 

We can't sustain this growth and things are coming to a head 

We gotta learn to climb down the ladder of success 

With two feet on the ground we gotta clean up all this mess 

There's a fire in the furnace and there's nothing left to burn 

Buried waste has reached the surface is there nothing left to learn? 

Every life extinction is forever every town riots in the streets 

Every sky greenhouse is affecting every tree dying in the breeze 

Every plant chemical pollution every song relying on the beat 

Every lake water getting shorter every heart aching for release 

Surviving in a world of mass production we must all consume to live 

Our working lives to give and join the unemployment lines 

When confidence is low 

A man must try to sell his labour to the highest bid 

Keep his anger hid and try not to get pulled into 

The vicious undertow 

Photos 

But even in the middle classes they fall into that hole 

Aspiring to that goal of rising from the yoke of 

Such an exploitative state 

Consume to live
