In Spite of It All (I Don't Want Die)

People and places and quickening paces
Helpless there's showing on all faces
And each time they counted and sifted and sorted
Ten million more than a board are imported
All are illusions, delusion, confusion
In spite of it all I know I

Don't 'wanna die

Absence of riches make bike chains and switches
Forgotten scruples make demons and witches
Suicides the price of forsaken ambition
We know that hate's a survival condition

All the eruption, destruction and suction
In spite of it all I know I

Don't 'wanna die

All of it senseless, which totally defenseless
From people who would fly for deflecting defenses

Hope for our future lies shelved computers
Prosperity lies in the hands of looters

All of the crisis, high prices and vices
In spite of it all I know I

Don't 'wanna die

Don't 'wanna die

Maybe there's something to warrant existence
An instinctual go to that feeds our existence
To go on regardless of evil around us
Hoping that someday some good will have found us
All the believing and seeing and sealing
That's the reason that I

Don't 'wanna die
Don't 'wanna die
I don't 'wanna die
Oh, I don't wanna
I don't 'wanna die
