It's a matter of prescience but not the science fiction kind
It's all about ignorance, and greed, and miracles for the blind
The media parading, disjointed politics
Founded on petro-chemical plunder and we're its hostages
If you stand to reason you're in the game
The rules might me elusive but our pieces are the same
And you know if one goes down we all do down as well
The balance is precarious as anyone can tell
This world's going to hell
Don't allow this mythological hopeful monster to exact its price
Kyoto now! We can't do nothing and think someone else will make it right
You might think it matters now but what if you are wrong
You might not think there's any wisdom in a fucked up punk rock song
But the way it is cannot persist for long,
A brutal sun is rising on our sick horizon
It's in the way we live our lives
Exactly like the double edge of a cold familiar knife
And supremacy weighs heavy on the day
It's never really what you own but what you threw away
And how much did you pay?
In your dreams you saw a steady bounty for eternity
Silent screams but now the wisdom that sustains us is in full retreat
Don't allow this mythological hopeful monster isn't worth the risk
Kyoto now! We can't have vision for the future if it can't be fixed
Alien We need a fresh and new religion to run our lives
Hand in hand The arid torpor of inaction will be our demise
