I weep for lives lost and nature slain
I weep for the murder done in the
name
Of converting all life into profit
I weep for I fear (I know) I can't
stop it
The White Man's Burden of Globalization
Marches on to no
destination
Reducing all life in its path
To numbers, products, and
trash
On and on, the trail of tears never ends
Tribal peoples exterminated
for their lands
On and on, the trail of tears never ends
Holocaust upon
holocaust forged in the wake
Of our demands
Indoctrinated by this
culture
To consume without regard
For who or what may have been
exploited
All that matters is if you can afford it
On and on, the trail of
tears never ends
Ecosystems devastated beyond repair
On and on, the trail of
tears never ends
Genocide after genocide done to the land
That is not
ours
weep for lives lost and nature slain
I weep for the murder done in
the name
Of converting all life into profit
I weep because I know I'm part of
it
