about

“Modern Mankind is 50,000 years old. Civilization began some 10,000 years ago. The pyramids
are 5,000 years old. Plate tectonics have only been understood for less than 100 years. Nuclear
waste remains toxic for around 100,000 years. Nothing built by man has lasted even a tenth of
that time. How can we predict geological changes that far into the future?”

lyrics

Un portero mi bin
y esta no cuarto por racism en el juego
anjuntos, el Humano-Carrera
existir con justice y por mejoramiento

(Spanish translation: A goalkeeper am I,
and there’s no need for racism in the game
together, the Human Race
Exist with justice and for self-improvement)

The co-operative effort that we planned
Is deemed impossible in a practical sense -

And it makes me wonder if we can
make our lives better with these impediments?
With our heads buried in the sand -
can we enrich our lives like Uranium in Iran?

Textbook values – moral decline
You’re happy and you’re ugly when you follow the state-line
Its walls and values – not too late,
the dominant era of the State.

In the short-term we are often sold,
amid timeless omens and organised lying,
and as the striking mine-workers were told:
“You cannot blackmail your government by dying”

Out world has all the power that we need
- if we employ it responsibly.

And it makes me wonder if we can
Empower our lives less indiscriminately?
With our heads buried in the sand -
can we enrich our lives like Uranium in Iran?

Textbook values – moral stalemate
you’re happy and you’re ugly so forget about the decay-rate.
If equal rights applied to you -
your daughters could leave the house and go to school

Concerned but unfazed by minority reports
Processes governed by their natural laws

Cameron in favour - Chiraq too
Pacific’s beset by an unpopular view

But it’s not too late – Osirak formed
Utilize power from renewable source

No not too late – proliferate true
Tehran empowered by an unpopular view
