Lyrics

Its a matter of prescience -no, not the science fiction kind
Its all about ignorance, and greed, and miracles for the blind
The media parading, disjointed politics
Founded on petrochemical plunder, and were its hostages
If you stand to reason youre in the game
The rules might be elusive but our pieces are the same
And you know if one goes down we all go down as well
The balance is precarious as anyone can tell
This worlds going to hell
Dont allow this mythologic hopeful monster to exact its price
Kyoto now!
We cant do nothing and think someone else will make it right
You might not think it matters now but what if you are wrong
You might not think theres 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
Its in the way we live our lives
Exactly like the double edge of a cold familiar knife
And supremacy weighs heavy on the day
Its never really what you own but what you threw away
And how much did you pay?
Dont allow this mythologic hopeful monster to exact its price
Kyoto now!
We cant do nothing and think someone else will make it right
In your dreams you saw a steady state a bounty for eternity
Silent screams
But now the wisdom that sustains us is in full retreat
Watch out!
Dont allow this mythologic hopeful monster isnt worth the risk
Kyoto now!
We cant have vision for the future if it cant 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
Oh, kyoto now!
