Picking Flowers Video (MV)

Last night I killed a roach
I heard my sister screaming
The bug was not endearing
But did it deserve to die?
And though I am convinced that I did good
That it was what I had to do
I can't help but wonder
Sit around and ponder
Was it really that bad?

Oh, how many times have you looked at something that's alive
And decided that it had to die?
And how many times have you picked a flower from the ground
To watch it wither in a glass?

Now death is also part of life
And in our time, we'll also part
We'll feed the grass that feeds the cows
All in all, the circle is complete
And living in our fantasy
Of concrete and silicone chips
We thought we were the wise guy
We cut our oxygen supply
We're taking with us the old tree of life

Oh, how many times have you looked at something that's alive
And decided that it had to die?
And how many times have you picked a flower from the ground
To watch it wither in a glass?
Now, we could stop this warfare if we wanted to
If we knew the implications of the things we do
But damage is already done
We'll feel it in the years to come
Watch out for the rain and droughts

Oh, how many times have you looked at something that's alive
And decided that it had to die?
And how many times have you picked a flower from the ground
To watch it wither in a glass?
