Roots  by Alex

Got to get back to our roots
Start putting up some new shoots
Can’t keep up this frantic pace
Genetic engineering, the human race
Only nature can create
New species, and keep a balance;
Billions of years of evolution
To form this universal dance
And in our thankless arrogance
We’ve started to mutate

Got to get back to our roots
Start putting up new shoots
It’s time we all took stock
Before we all die of toxic shock
Too many chemicals, toxins, nitrates
What a radioactive waste
Of this unique creation
Humanity’s great at exploitation

Got to get back to our roots
Start putting up new shoots
The damage done ain’t superficial
Not only our intelligence is artificial
And you can’t run, can’t hide
Behind it TV, virtual reality
Because it’s still outside
And can you feel inside your system
