Ecocide is matricide is suicide.
Tyrannicide.
In defense of nature and life.
Environmental degradation leads to cultural disintegration.
With every dollar offered up family ties and trees are cut.
The Ecuadorian rainforest is a casualty of Texaco's oil extraction.
The native people were poisoned.
The ecosystem destroyed.
And your money may have funded this action.
Fragile bodies and hunger pain.
Humanity's essence dissipates.
Imbalance leads to squalor and distress.
People work in fertile fields and still starve to death.
Indigenous people grow food for export
When they can't even feed themselves.
To survive under capitalism, whatever they grow, they must sell.
Corporate tyrannicide.
For the sake of the Earth and for all of humankind.
For every single person who has been forced from their home.
For every acre of trees clear cut by these scum.
If all they know is destruction we'll show them we can play their game.
Countless blood and oil is spilled as native communities have fallen ill.
Resistance is silenced with nooses
And guns against Shell's destruction of Ogoniland.
On November 10th of 1995, he was executed along with the Ogoni Nine.
The forests are being colonized.
We are witnessing collapse right before our eyes.
Eminent doom is plain to see.
It comes with the erasure of biodiversity.
Mitsubishi corporation prospers from deforestation.
To them our future isn't worth a shit.
Native species mean nothing and trees only profits.
Shell Oil, Unocal, Mitsubishi, Texaco,
McDonalds, Dupont, Dow, Union Carbide:
They are digging a mass grave for humankind.
The perpetuate ecocide.
The perpetuate matricide.
We must deal with these tyrants every way that we can.
Demonstrate, sabotage, boycott, take a stand.
Make it known that life means more than dollars and cents.
Eco-defense is self-defense.
