How Much Is Enough?

Tell me can the hate chain be broken?
Production and consumption define our hollow lives
Avarice has led us 'cross the ocean
Toward a land that's better
Much more bountiful and wideFor when will mankind finally come to realize
His surfeit has become his demise?
How much is enough to kill yourself?
That quantity is known today
As we blow ourselves awayTell me is there anything so sure?
Rapacity, tenacity, capacity for more
(Aaa)
Like a dog that feeds until he suffers
Infirmity of man is brought on by his selfish curveWhen will mankind finally come to realize
His surfeit has become his demise?
How much is enough to kill yourself?
That quantity is known today
As we blow ourselves away
(Aay)
