A song inspired by a friend’s Facebook post:<\/p>\n
So, 88-98% of corn, cotton (cotton oil–as in what a lot of potato chips are cooked in), canola oil, and soybean crops grown are genetically engineered. About 80% of the crops are to feed livestock. So what evolution has taken 3 billion years to create, humankind can destroy in 40 years. Maybe that’s the plan, to kill off our own kind to revert back to the beginning, with a little plastic and holes in the ozone as a special bonus. Kudos, Homo sapiens. We’ve really “outdone” ourselves.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
LYRICS
\nWhat is it that I walk upon?
\nI wish we had the insight to look on and on and on
\nAnd, we found the ground
\nUnderneath our feet
\nAre we going to be our own defeat?<\/p>\nWhat is that that I breath
\nHas the air gone up in thin air
\nIs there something more than just our air in there
\nWhat is it we breath
\nAre we our own disease?<\/p>\nWill we beat
\nInto defeat
\nWill we beat
\nOur own defeat<\/p>\nWhat is that in our food
\nIs it any good
\nWhat we eat
\nAre we our own defeat?<\/p>\nI don’t think we can cheat Mother Nature
\nIt’s us we beat into defeat<\/p>\nWe’re going to beat ourselves into defeat
\nAnd, I would say it’s time to change the seat
\nThis game of musical chairs is going nowhere
\nI don’t want to be the last one standing
\nIt won’t be any fun if I’m the only one that does remain
\nIt might even drive you insane<\/p>\nOwn Worst Enemy.mp3<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n
