[Spoken Vocal]
Demand…
It doesn’t just happen.
It’s learned.
It’s fed.
(By where it’s led)
When… then…
It feeds itself
(Off your wealth)
[Refrain]
The damned demand
(Destroy! Destroy!)
Employ command
(Over how you enjoy)
Get on the habitat habit
(Try it for a bit)
… a habit you won’t quit
[Verse 1]
Want it now
Need it fast
Buy the future
Spend the past
Bigger house
Bigger ride
Something missing
Deep inside
Fill the cart
Fill the tank
Never stop to question why
More becomes
The measure
More becomes
The alibi
[Pre-Chorus]
Demand!
(Demand!)
Commands!
(Commands!)
Supply!
(Supply!)
Complies!
(Complies!)
Round and round
(The system turns)
Feed the fire
(Watch it burn)
[Chorus]
The damned demand
(Destroy! Destroy!)
Keeps taking land
(Employ! Employ!)
Extraction
(Production)
Consumption
(Destruction)
[Verse 2]
The market hears
The money moves
Choices make
The system choose
Buy a little
Buy a lot
Every dollar
Finds a spot
[Refrain]
The damned demand
(Destroy! Destroy!)
Employ command
(Over how you enjoy)
Get on the habitat habit
(Try it for a bit)
… a habit you won’t quit
[Instrumental]
[Electric Guitar Solo: Aggressive Blues-Rock Lead, Fuzz Guitar, Driving Bass, Heavy Drums, Organ Swells]
[Bridge]
Destroy!
(Destroy!)
Not the planet!
Destroy!
(Destroy!)
The demand!
[Rap Vocal Break]
Don’t be useless
(Use less)
Useless
(… or use less)
[Breakdown]
[Music Drops to Bass, Sparse Acoustic Guitar, Distant Industrial Percussion]
The damned demand…
Isn’t damned by fate.
(Built on greed and hate)
It’s damned by habit
(For the habitat)
[Whispered Vocals]
Try it…
For a bit…
(Learn to quit)
[Final Refrain]
The damned demand
(Destroy! Destroy!)
Employ command
(Over how you enjoy)
Get on the habitat habit
(Try it for a bit)
… a habit you won’t quit
[Final Chorus]
The damned demand
(Destroy! Destroy!)
Doesn’t have to command
(You decide! You decide!)
[Outro]
[Instrumental Outro: Driving Bass, Distorted Guitar, Stomping Drums, Organ, Glitch Synth; Gradually Breaks Into Acoustic Guitar]
Demand…
Destruction…
Habitat…
Habit…
[Spoken, fading]
(Destroy the damned demand…)
