Killing It Lyrics
This comes as no surprise, we're emptying our supplies.
We're only thinking about the size of the pile of shit to buy.
Over and over, we take what we want to take
even if the bond with nature will break.
And when I lay me down to sleep I wonder why -
I'm feeling fucking incomplete.
I must try to be the guy that defeats all the lies.
Wiser than the ones that I despise.
So listen now.
We are living in this world and we're killing it. It's so absurd.
And for dollar bills, we keep on drilling it, until we're mentally ill.
A big burial site, no light in this endless night.
Please let me rewrite the story to get it right.

This song is about how we keep on using limited nature sources even though lots of people tell us to use unlimited sources. Such as Ethanol instead of regular Gasoline. That's what I think at least..
I agree, though I think it encompasses more than just the depletion of natural resources too though, I think it takes a stab at commercialism in general. Specifically this line: "And for dollar bills we'll keep on drilling it."
It's pointing out the reason why it's happening, commercialism, the end of sanity for a profit
