lyrics

Sincerity is a crime!
Love is dead!

We don't have long
Humanity is dying
It'll all be over soon
But is it soon enough?

Nothing is soon enough
The universe goes by way too slow for our puny lives
Only living 100 years, 100 revolutions,
That's if we're lucky
At least that's what they say to us.
I don't find myself fortunate!

What's the difference between an old person and a baby?
A baby hasn't become desensitized yet!
That's what happened with all of us!
We don't even cry at mass shootings anymore.
We don't cry at tragedies.
We don't cry at funerals!

No one's gonna cry on the very day you die
Because we've seen it a million times

Everyone is dying all around us.
We've become numb to the pain.
We've become apathetic
We've accepted our fate that's going to happen eventually

One day
No more

In 130 years, if we're still alive at that point,
All 7.5 Billion of us will have been dead and gone
Replaced by new humans
Every single one of us

That's just how it goes, ain't it?
Death is inevitable
Life is questionable

Birth is rare
I'm not talking about the possibility of your dad fucking your mom raw
I'm talking about how we came to be, the universe as it is.
The right amount of particles had to be set in place to collapse with each other to make all of this happen.

We are a mistake

Evolution just made that mistake much worse.

Who knows how long we have left?
I'm not talking about "us", I'm talking about humanity as a whole.
We don't have long.
With the way things keep going,
With the way things keep on going right now,
It looks like that day is coming sooner than we thought.
Closer and closer
And it's all our fault

Rich people could help us
But they won't.

If we're lucky,
Maybe we could steal one of their lifeboats when this planet explodes.

The only solution is to kill the rich
Harvest their assets
Sell their limbs on the black net
And use all that money towards helping saving the earth
Before it dies on us

But that idea is a little too farfetched
For this generation
That's why it's not gonna happen
And that's why we're all gonna die
Cause we're too scared

We're too scared of consequences
We're too scared of consequences and that's what's the matter with us.

We worry too much about our own interests
That we haven't had the chance to focus on what is really going on.
What really matters

We're too self absorbed
Like sponges

Because of you
This is all y(our) fault
"You" meaning all of us.
All of humanity,
We let this happen
We elected our government in
And look how they played with us

Are you ready to admit defeat?
Is that what you're gonna do?
Just cry in the corner like a pussilanimous son of a bitch?
Or are you gonna stand up for yourself
Stand up against all these bullies
These demagogues
And fight for what you really believe in?
Saving the Earth?

A lot of hippies have talked about saving the earth for quite a long time now
And we never took them seriously
Not until recently
When we saw the damage for ourselves

We always thought that "Earth Day" was some sort of inside joke
And never realized that it actually meant something
We forgot where we lived
We forgot our own home
We only have one home
And if we ruin it,
That's game over.

So what are you gonna do about it?
Help me spread awareness?
So that the people with money could actually do it.
Or you could just sit on your ass
And not do a goddamn thing about it
And just let it happen.

It's your choice
Make the right choice
You're all we got left
