In the wake of high death tolls, and untold agony
Some claim we, as Malthus prophesied
Are too many alive for the sake of our well-being
In need of culling to save humanity

From proverbial extinction. Thus, once again
The first victims of disaster
Are expected to give the last full measure

"Let them eat pie in the sky, let every last one die
It's what we need you see, what they deserve anyway"

Specific scapegoats targeted and chosen
For sacrifice to pad the effects of a
Specific carbon-intense economic system
So that it may perpetuate

Bill footed by the billions struggling to survive
Rather than companies in the pollution industry
Coloured women's bodies, keenly objectified
As existential threats to global stability

"Let them eat pie in the sky, let every last one die
Let them eat pie in the sky, let every last one die
Let them eat pie in the sky, let every last one die
It's what we need you see, what they deserve anyway"

The finite nature of nature revealed as if unheard of
In the face of colonial-ignited hyper-extraction
The colonised peoples of the world depicted as herds of
Beasts breeding themselves into oblivion

Reproduction blamed over production for money.
Plunder by the few re-framed as blunder by the many
Collectively rendered responsible
For the externalities of investment capital

And set up as offhanded offerings of righteous holy suffering
In an obscene bid for the narrative to save face
Anything goes to maintain power in place

"Let them eat pie in the sky, let every last one die
Let them eat pie in the sky, let every last one die
Let them eat pie in the sky, let every last one die
It's what we need you see, what they deserve anyway"
