Welcome good members of the World Suicide Club!
The largest most effective organization on earth
Working toward the elimination of the human race
We're well on the way to reaching our goal
And taking a lot of our neighbors with us
Here we are in the sixth great extinction
Which has the distinction of coming on quickest
And being the one we've done by pretty much all by ourselves
We could focus on turning it around
But that's sooo much trouble.
And don't want to get in the way of progress
Toward our extinction.
Already half the plants, half the animals, hell - half the insects
Gone like we're striving to be gone too.
An asteroid from outer space
Could wipe us out
It's a long shot
But we're making sure not to do all that we easily could
To prevent such a catastrophic impact
Nuclear war is no long shot
We're always right on the hair-trigger edge
And if it's between the US and Russia
Most likely by accident
Good chance it's all over for higher forms of life
That's almost happened a number of times
And look who's sneaked up on us
That cute little simple carbon dioxide molecule
With its methane sidekick
Sleeping giants in the earth
That can bring on fire and fury and stomp the shit out of us
If enough of them get out.
Like on Venus with its 470 Celsius surface
And that's not just cause it's more close to the sun
It's hotter than Mercury
All kinds of scientists warning us
But they're so boring
And don't want to change our lifestyle
Or the way the money's flowing
Gigantic ol tree stately soul of our neighborhood in Sanur
Got butchered
Just that tall thick stump left standing
People said it'll grow back
And then won't be threatening
To drop those big branches
Driver Nyoman eyed it's huge limbs in pieces
Alam marah he said
Nature's angry
In the 70s Lovelock was writing bout Gaia
The earth as one self-regulating being
Twelve years ago he published the Revenge of Gaia
Then The Vanishing Face of Gaia
And four years ago Rough Ride to the Future
Maybe good to prepare for that rough ride
Now we can't get out of our membership in the World Suicide Club
But like 99 year old James Lovelock
We can work from within
To sabotage its heinous goal
Good luck younguns!
Don't get mad
Don't get down in the dumps.
Get smart
Wake up
Take a lead
