(and it speaks)
(speaks)
(speaks) 

saying, "My grass is soft, my trees are tall;
come to me and have them all...

My lakes are lovely, my hills are high;
come to me before you die...

Come man, come woman, come baby child,
come see this world both tame and wild...

For all of this is yours today
if you come right now (come and stay)."

so you dig and drive
you live and die
wishing for more 

(mesmerized)
(hypnotized)
(by a little ball of glass)

3.

our wombs are empty
there is nothing but this work
our wombs are empty

sit with us and see our suffering
our wombs are empty
