You baby boomers built cities out of greedTo take at gunpoint more than you needWhen money becomes the god and wealth becomes religionA human sacrifice is one of the conditions

You always told me that, that I should think about the futureAs you threw it on the fireYou always told me that, that I should think about the futureAnd then you threw it on the fire You threw me on the fireYou threw me on the fire

: Lyrics like "you let the planet die" and "the future has been raped" express frustration over the state of the world being passed down.

And your generation dines, but the next one pays the billAnd you've thrown them on the fire to take the edge out of the chillAnd you let the planet die, oh, the future has been rapedAnd you've thrown us on the fire to brighten up the flames

: The song highlights how one generation "dines" while the next "pays the bill," suggesting that current youth are being sacrificed for the comfort of their predecessors.
