just like us - exodus to infinity lyrics
so obviously there are many, many ways to feel this emptiness
and for each person, there’s a different way of feeling the emptiness
but it always goes back to what we didn’t get when we were very small…
and then we look at the drug addict and we say to the drug addict
“how can you possibly do this to yourself?
how can you possibly inject this terrible substance into your body
that may k!ll you?”
but look at what we’re doing to the earth
we’re injecting all kinds of things into the atmosphere
and the oceans and the environment that is k!lling us
that’s k!lling the earth
now which addiction is greater? the addiction to oil or to consumerism?
which causes the greater harm? and yet we judge the drug addict
because we actually see that they’re just like us
and we don’t like that. so we say, “you’re differant than us
you’re worse than we are.”
