Pangea
02:02
|
|||
A freighter ship left port
Pangea was her name
Her crew was the best there was
But her captain was insane
There was no land in sight
When the panicked first mate cried,
“I fear we’re out of fuel”
The loyal crew replied:
We stand with Pangea
We stand with our own
Cannibalize the cargo,
The rudder, deck, and mast
Strip the vessel bare
Burn each board to the last
We stand with Pangea
We stand on our own
Pangea
Out of fuel?
Burn the crew!

You're Not Allowed In

The seas hold black gold
The sea sold for black gold
Blood!
Below the surface the ocean bleeds
A gaping wound from which a toxin leaks
Corporate pirates plunge their corkscrew knives
Wreaking havoc on all marine life
The seas hold black gold
The sea sold for black gold
The seas hold black gold
Behold the black gold
Blood!
Blood billows from the ocean floor
Coagulates along the shore
The damage done, their will imposed
The sign proclaims, "The Gulf is closed"
You're not allowed in
Profit abounds when
You're not allowed in

Endless Summer
03:15
|
|||
Vacationland
Toes in the sand
So it began:
Endless summer
With smokestacks’ dye
The sun paints the sky
With no outcry came
Endless summer
July’s embers
Survived December
Seasons surrender
Endless summer
Landscape browned
Pushed underground
By heat profound, by
Endless summer
There’s no escaping
Endless summer

Undone

The engines whine
Factories hum
Inflicting progress
On everyone
The stream of commerce
A raging flood
Wipes out the landscape
Bathes us in blood
We always knew this day would come
The haze too thick to see the sun
Evolution’s work undone
You don't need a thneed
We always knew this day would come
The haze too thick to see the sun
Evolution’s work undone

Songbird

You are the one who will sing us to sleep
As we are swept away by rising seas
You are the one who will sing us to sleep
Look out, look out, look out
Canary in the coal mine
Look out, look out, look out
We ignored your sign
Canary in the coal mine
Now we’re out of time
No more warnings
World keeps warming

Silver Lining
03:09
|
|||
A gilt life at everyone's expense
Guilty! Guilty! Guilty!
Silver lining
Not arriving despite all the pining
Silver lining
The silver is lining their pockets
Coffins’ empty promises
Fill coffers
There is no silver lining
Someone won’t find worth strip-mining
There is no silver lining

A New Religion
01:14
|
|||
In the name of the dollar
We trade away the sun
For the light of burning spirits
Glut like this day is the only one
A new religion
Crucify the dollar
For our daughters and sons
Find a vein and spear it
Preserve the future for everyone
A new religion
Which side are you on?

Warm, But Not Alive
02:39
|
|||
We’re lonely among our peers
Since the serpents invaded our ears
Poisoning Now and Here
Though these raindrops could be a monsoon
Isolationists never commune
This platoon all cocooned
It’s hard to see eye to eye
When everyone’s virtualized
Flesh and bone replaced by drones
The last tree will fall unheard
Provided our shrouded shepherds
Don’t disconnect our surrogates
Warm, but not alive
Hard drives spin producing heat
Filtering reality
The apogee of technology
Is community burned in effigy
Warm, but not alive

Combination Answer

It's all about the money
Salvation sought through accumulation
We killed the vegetation
But the plants are thriving
Hawked the greenhouse
Now where will we house the green?
Rising tides raise all ships, unless...
The fleet - They own it
The coast - Control it
We killed the vegetation
But we saved the greenhouse
Someday something will grow here again
Someday

Black Box
02:26
|
|||
If they ever find the
Black box in this vessel's wreckage
Black box, play the final message
The black box alone knows the captain's identity
The black box thumping in the captain’s chest pumps
Black box oil, defiles our nest
Black box ink depicts a frightening nightmare
Garbage in, garbage out
Reckon there's garbage in between
Garbage always finds a way
Inside the
Black box: evidence gone missing
Black box, show us who’s been pissing
Black box oil where water used to be
Black box, pray, who is to blame?
Black box, give up the captain’s name
Black box
Black box recovered from the wreckage
Black box, play the final message:
The captain’s wheel turned by ten billion hands

See something, say something
Report your neighbor, ride for free
See something, say something
Lost liberty, false security
It's not enough to tap your phone
Watch you from drones
The final indictment must come from
One of your own
See something, say something
Surveillance outsourced to the surveilled!
What if, instead, when governments overreach we
Say something
A distributed panopticon
Packaged up as security
A distributed panopticon
A suspicious package indeed!
