letra de 04 - uncertainty - lil shitty

[intro]
carl sagan in congress talking about climate change
“because the effects occupy more than a human generation there is a tendency to say that they are not our problem. of course then they are n0bodys problem. not on my tour of duty not on my term of office its something for the next century let the next century worry about it. but the problem is that there are effects, and the greenhouse effect is one of them. which have long time constants if you dont worry about it now its too late later on. and so in this issue as in so many other issues we are passing on extremely grave problems for our children when the time to solve the problems if they can be solved at all, is now!”

[verse]
let’s face it
im realistic, these days what’s the point of being optimistic (yea)
you must have missed it b/c as soon as sh-t hits
the fan, as decades of progress gets undone by these dipsh-ts (you know what im sayin’)
uncertainty has hit a new level in all human existence (ugh)

with technology and statistics, we can predict with (cl!cking sound)
uncanny precision, the consequences of our materialistic

society, unleashing the forces of proportions apocalyptic (ahhhhh!)
the 6th mass extinction, we’re not equipped with
the tools or -n-lytics, to eschew the parasitic
characteristics of humans or our hubric paternalistic (im your father)
tendencies, so let’s stop pretending please (dammit)

[chorus]
chief oren lyons on climate change
“the ice is melting, it’s not listening to your words, the ice is melting, it’s not listening to your ego, the ice is melting, it’s not listening to your ideas, it’s simply melting because that’s a law, it’s natures law, and so nature will prevail, will prevail, and so nature will prevail, will prevail, the ice is melting, it’s not listening to your words, the ice is melting, it’s not listening to your words”

[verse]
what’s next? crop failures.. dead oceans.. pollution and no fresh water (profit baby)
climate death.. refugee crises.. never ending fires.. as capitalists h–rd more (enclosure)
and anyone who disobeys the christian nationalists is given no quarter (nothing!)
no corridor is safe, as the us will rape and pillage every corner
this time will it be for freedom, democracy, terrorism, or as religious reformers (oh jesus)
its the same sh-t each time, don’t get fooled by the manufactured consent performers
its the democrats and the republicans, blaming workers and the foreigners
border wars? no, it’s just capital buying time, congress, and the supreme court wh0res (clarence f-ckin thomas)

[chorus]
mark crispin miller on us propaganda
“we live in a moment when propaganda has never been so pervasive, has never been so influential, has never been so dangerous. there are countless euphemisms that we use today for propaganda. and the rise for all those euphemisms for it is a direct result of the successful effort to cast propaganda as something that they do. in those closed societies, the russians do it, the chinese do it, we don’t do it, we educate people, we provide them with information and that misrepresentation of propaganda has had the paradoxical effect of making it extraordinary effective.”
[verse]
will americans stand up and regain some democracy, i see no way (no way)
i see mass violence and torture, reminiscent of pinochet
i see 73 chile migrating to america more and more each day (every day)
next medicare and social security will be gone as the more we pay (cha ching)
for every privatized service, rationed for the rich with no delay (stop)

“but look how efficient it is”, as prices skyrocket and its rationed only for those who can pay
i am not sure how much more obvious it becomes before it’s… it’s too late (is anyone watching)
the uncertainty is too much to bear some days and i… i feel betrayed (what’s the point?)

[chorus]
behind the news with paul ortiz, not safe in your blue bubble
“but doug you know history tells us you got to stand up to these people, because unfortunately we have too many people in this society they didn’t have to fight for public education, they ddint have to fight for social security they are getting a little lazy. i am going to sound a little condescending people said my generation said, well you know its the law of the land, republicans will dare not attack it. total bs, idiotic. the minute you stop fighting for something you are going to lose it in this type of society”
