about

The past that they have come to is in a dire state, while nowhere near its possible future destruction, the seeds of said destruction are clearly visible! Why is this, and what are we going to do?

lyrics

excuse me sir,
could you please tell me why
all the birds and the fishes and the bees have to die?
are you saying that the end is getting near
due to all the damages to our biosphere
and whats the reason for the seasons getting hotter
all the poison in the air
all the poison in the water?
they took the essence and turned laughter into slaughter
what am i supposed to tell the sons of sons and daughters?
is it intentional? the fault of 1 dimensional
thought or simple greed you know
more than you could need to grow?
or are they trying to reduce the population
by boiling the planet while they take a space vacation
why don't we look towards indigenous traditions
i don't think we can afford thsi foolish man's position
look at all this wonder does it really deserve
to degrade beyond retrieval cause you didn't have the nerve

and now there's birds!

[chorus]

and every living system's in decline
don't look at me like everything is freaking fine!
trees used to be familiar as street signs
no the more i look i find
that i cannot turn a blind eye
to entropy
5in the face of endless abundance if only
we'd use imagination and stop faking
excuses are useless
don't act like you can't do this
7 generations at stake and their ruthless
9 well, i'm the teeth of the toothless
the sword of the most high
jah samurai
stands for innnovation
vital education
and i will not stand for their intimidation
not while there's so much at stake man
no time for mistaking
nuclear water on the shore of japan
trying to give GMOS to the africans
wicked global industries sinister hand in the

birds

1 excuse me sir,
it's not really that funny
2 didn't sitting bull say that you can't eat money
even more now its not even paper
4 just the ideas and attitudes of dudes chasing vapor
5 i tried to tell it to the bankers
but they were busy pimping out their oil tankers
while their bodies getting torn apart by cancers
so i look to the universe for answers
9 some say its karma
or call others alarmers
i wish that we were all organic farmers
but you need land
or at least a back yard
or at least a roof man its really it's not that hard!
all power comes from the sun in a way
the soil is living
the earth is forgiving
so much so,
but you probably should know
that she might not shed a tear if we all have to go
and cockaroaches will replace our failed species
after existing for millenia on garbage and feeces
so, really, us is up to us
dust is up to dust
ashes to ashes you trust
other wise theres birds
