lyrics

I. Elders’ LullaLie

We, we reached a point of no return
Permafrost‘s thawing, rainforests burn
We wouldn‘t listen & we wouldn’t learn
Our hedonism‘s been our major concern

With indifference we’re flipping tipping elements
Even though there‘s been chances to change & make amends
But we bit off much more than we could chew
Now lie in this warm bed that we made for you

We jumped the shark
Shut your eyes before landing
It‘s a leap in the dark
But who knows how it’s ending?
Good night, sleep tight
Good night

We jumped the shark
Shut your eyes before landing
It’s a leap in the dark
Who could have known ‘bout its ending?
For what it’s worth, my dear
We wanted to bring you
Heaven on earth
But it’s hell we fell into
Good night, sleep tight
Good night, sleep tight

 
II. Butterfly & Bee

The elephant in the room is dead
He died despite good anger management
He had hung his head heavy from that idle chit-chat
His body’s dangling below with a noose round his neck

He’s swinging still when Schrödinger’s Cat
Is finally meant to be let out of the bag
But as it turns out, she got a bit out of hand
And put an end to the experiment

We wouldn’t hear
And we wouldn’t see
We didn’t fear
For the butterfly & the bee

All animals are divided into two types
The 1st class are those who feel divine and divide
Like crown of creation they rule over the other
The 2nd’s demeaned, doomed to bear & to suffer

We wouldn’t hear
And we wouldn’t see
We didn’t fear
For the butterfly & the bee
Cos we only care
For our bonds to bull & bear
And this is why
Bee & butterfly
Both had to die
 

III. The Kid’s Speech

This is all wrong. How dare you
Talk about eternal growth?
How do you dare continue
Saying that you’re doing enough?
For even more than 30 years now
The science has been crystal-clear
This won’t be solved with ‘business as usual’
And this is why I want you to fear

I do not want your hope now
No, as a matter of fact
I want you to panic
And I want you to act

Keep talking about your money
Tell your economic fairy tales
But we young people are starting
To understand your act of betrayal
We draw the line right here & right now
We draw the line to make you stop
The world is awaking & change is coming
Whether you like it or not

We don’t need your hope now
No, as a matter of fact
We need you to panic
And we want you to act
Act like your house was on fire
Feel the fear we feel every day
And if you choose to fail us
We will not let you get away
We’ll never forgive you


IV. The Owl of Minerva

When the day is over
And twilight comes closing in
The Owl of Minerva’s
Spreading its wings clandestine

When shades of night tightly’ gathering
And azure skies fade to grey
Eyes wide & wise are awaking, taking
Flight to look back over the day

When pitch-dark dusk has been falling
Deadened the day’s life & light
High from above it starts calling & bawling
Daylight’s been traded for night
In vain & pain it is warningly mourning
There ain’t no morning in sight
From its tree forlorn & lonely it’s moaning
That the day has died
