[VERSE 1] Life on the surface of a planet that's waiting to be Crushed by nature's indifference, while we delay decisions We're still thinking in frames of nations, religions, races Space is civilization's only option for long term duration [BRIDGE] Asteroids and solar winds... The climate and environment... Resources and viruses... Ignorance and prejudice... [VERSE 2] We reify science fiction or we face our extinction Unite inspite our difference then learn to coexist on The surface of this planet that can't host us forever Let's take on this endeavour, not decay here together [CHORUS 1] STEP 1: we come to a decision - abandon superstition STEP 2: we tear down the banks, unplug the fossil power plants STEP 3: increase science literacy, teach kids to think critically STEP 4: let's build that colony on Mars and then head towards the stars We come to a decision... [VERSE 3] But our lack of empathy and our ape mentality lag behind technology Thus we may never be free of the systems that own us And the lies that they told us To profit off the lizard brain impulses of a culture that holds us back [CHORUS 2] One: failure of education will lead to our stagnation Two: our class stratification produces violent desparation, then Three: a new bronze age collapse, while nature looks on and claps Four: it ends slow or maybe fast, for as they are, things cannot last Unless we colonize space, our potential goes to waste
