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
