The Morden World

So many people no one
Things didn't seem done
In the seventies we all knew we were going somewhere
Realizing leaded gas was a bad idea seems obvious
Seemed fine

We've come a long way
Things can seem done today
Great faiths agree on little
The dark heart of man a natural selection
We've won

We're super predators
Just need a question answered not searched
AlGore-rhythm unbreakable
Unsustainable super predators are only us
We make it sound like a category

Predation brought us here
We share a common ancestor with everything alive
In together we can go out now
When they meet jaguar and lion they see they belong
All those like us are gone I hear their tears in my genome

Too many people around here think we are special
That God will save us
That technology will save us
That they can not be one

We have a culture in the modern world
We believe things we can not know
Too many talk of eternal life and are sad at funerals
Too many still prey upon others

What if the world just needed you
A multiple variable problem
Seven point six billion now
The future is about small things
Jesus comes tomorrow great today we plan for the seventh generation

We have not even started
Taken as many steps back as forward
They said history was over
A new York attitude
They were wrong

They say we are postmodern a long time ago
Dark ages were brighter than some
A new arrangement of words needed to mean even less
Great battles will be fought with pen
We spill too much blood but even more ink

That started one time one place
We have this culture
Nothing comes after today
Tomorrow never arrives
It is modern and always will be for we have no good excuses left
