about

"The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot.

Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves."

-Carl Sagan

lyrics

the earth our mother
she's really sick
and it's no wonder
she's got a hit on us

we drain her blood
right outta the ground
we drop our bombs
and we leave our shit around

oh
i wanna live forever
i wanna a real good health plan
i wanna stay looking so young
with botox and collagen

but the world won't be
ya the world won't be
yes the world won't be a better place

until we escape
off to outer space
leave the earth to the apes

the earth our mother
she's really pissed
and it's no wonder
she's got a hit on us

we steal her diamonds
right from under her nose
we shave her bald
and we burn up all her clothes

oh
i wanna live forever
i wanna a real good health plan
i wanna stay looking so young
with botox and collagen

but the world won't be
ya the world won't be
yes the world won't be a better place

until we escape
off to outer space
leave the earth to the apes
