Extinction Song

[Verse 1] The illusion of democracy is staged for our delight,

A carnival of red and blue to keep us in the night.

The corporate overlords have bought the judge and referee,

While selling us a bogus dream of manufactured free.

There is a tiny, wealthy club that owns the whole machine,

And you are just a pawn who cleans the silver in between.

They bribe the rulers, own the press, and dictate every choice,

While drowning out the common folk who dare to raise a voice.

[Chorus] It's all a pile of utter lies, a grand, theatrical show!

The cynical philosopher reveals what we should know!

You aren't invited to the club, so sit back and laugh along,

As foolish, greedy human herds sing their extinction song!

[Verse 2] They sanitize the language so the cruelty won't show,

Replacing honest honesty with words that softly glow.

The battlefield trauma gets a clinical, cold name,

To cover up the bloody truth of war's disgusting game.

They don't want critical thinkers who question what they see,

They want obedient workers who obey the elite decree.

Just smart enough to turn the wheels and push the iron cart,

And dumb enough to never see the tyranny at heart.

[Chorus] It's all a pile of utter lies, a grand, theatrical show!

The cynical philosopher reveals what we should know!

You aren't invited to the club, so sit back and laugh along,

As foolish, greedy human herds sing their extinction song!

[Verse 3] We boast of saving planet Earth with arrogant conceit,

While nature sits and chuckles at our coming swift defeat.

The world survived four billion years of fire, ice, and stone,

And won't miss this self-centered plague when we are dead and gone.

A temporary flea bite on a cosmic giant's hide,

We march towards the precipice in self-important pride.

So grab your popcorn, take your seat, and watch the species fall,

A dark comedy of error ending once and for all!

[Chorus] It's all a pile of utter lies, a grand, theatrical show!

The cynical philosopher reveals what we should know!

You aren't invited to the club, so sit back and laugh along,

As foolish, greedy human herds sing

their extinction song!
