How on earth will we survive?
When nature's worth more dead than alive
It's a race to cut down all the trees
Before somebody else does
Wars are good for the economy
Pollution means higher GDP
We need nuclear weapons or risk destruction
AIs now an arms race
Where are our brains and imagination?
Smokestacks pumping out damnation
There's no way to prevent this
Cos we have...
Perverse incentives
To sacrifice values
Be more competitive
Racing to the bottom
How can we stop them?
Without co-operation
The tragedy of the commons
Externalised expenses
Unintended consequences
Suboptimisation
Our collective failure
Unnecessary sadness
Multipolar madness
Walking to the Moloch Trap
How do we turn?
How do we turn?
And break the cycle
Not fulfil, and fall into
The inevitable prediction
Human extinction
Antibiotics boost food production
Help dramatically with illness reduction
But resistant bacteria
Are more than hysteria
Fossil fuels make cheap energy
And a few people very rich
But eventually, we all pay for it
Even if we never used it
What's good for all, is good because
It's long term good for all of us
Where are the glad and wise?
Instead, we have...
Perverse incentives
To sacrifice values
Be more competitive
Racing to the bottom
How can we stop them?
Without co-operation
The tragedy of the commons
Externalised expenses
Unintended consequences
Suboptimisation
Our collective failure
Unnecessary sadness
Multipolar madness
Walking to the Moloch Trap
How do we turn?
How do we turn?
And break the cycle
Not fulfil, and fall into
The inevitable prediction
Human extinction
Do you mourn for Maldek?
Have fury at Lemuria?
And the conflicts of Atlantis?
Do you reminisce?
Free will vs Freedom
Within the law of karma
Hasnevitable conclusion
The madness of this Moloch drama
Are we gonna rise up?
Are hide?
Are we going to fail?
Are we going to fall?
Are we going to stand up?
Are fight?
Not be gonna be the ones?
Who walk into the night
