Just for daily convenience Where there's no time to see In addition to ignorance Still not acceptable to me
"Deforestation rates reach 10 million hectares annually contributing to climate crisis." "Even without fossil fuels we will exceed our 565 gigatonnes Co2e limit by 2030, all from raising animals." "Oceans warming 40 faster than previously thought due to human activities."
Comfortable at the top of your own pyramid Still hard to feel Hopes and dreams, you know, they'll die Enjoy the brand new illness While savoring another slice
In a gradual manner With the passage of time We grow used to the chaos One more time, roll the dice
Contemplating a world dying There's not much more to lose Everything you ignored Now right in front of you
"Torrential rains have caused one of Brazil's worst floods in modern history [...] For well over a decade scientists have been warning policymakers that global warming would bring increased rains to this region." "Virtually empty oceans by 2048." "Human Influence Found in 75 of Extreme Weather Events."
Comfortable at the top of your own pyramid Still hard to feel Hopes and dreams, you know, they'll die Enjoy the brand new illness While savoring another slice
Watching vicariously Too far away to see Boiling frogs
Comfortable at the top of your own pyramid Still hard to feel Hopes and dreams, you know, they'll die Enjoy the brand new illness While savoring another slice
