about

So here’s the thing. You know we only get this one planet,
right? That trees give us the air we breathe and rivers
give us the water we drink? We aren’t leaving this place.
Why search for a perfect oasis across the unfathomable
distances of emptiness between our stars, when we already
live on one? Space exploration, traveling through the nearly
nfinite expanses devoid of water and air, that is a job for
robots using the AI we are presently giving birth to.
Our place is here on this globe where we are allowing the
rich men to spread death to multiply their wealth.

lyrics

Just like the earth isn’t flat, it’s also getting warmer.
It’s happened before, but never like this.
Fill the skies with smoke, because all your air is filtered
Kill all our water, because you can buy your own

Cut down the green. Dig up every inch.
Fill this fucker with more and more cancer.
Turn our Eden into a scorched out prison.
Make this place our tomb.

We won’t survive. We won’t leave.
Save our rivers. Save our trees.

Cut down our lungs and cripple all our bones.
Energy’s worth more than human lives.
Build the gods that will inherit our ruin.
Make this a robot’s womb.

Rich men buy planetary death.
