Over The River And Through The Woods

Spiral ever closer
Year after year
Slowly getting warmer
One day the lakes will sear

Brightly glowing oceans
Of flame and solar flare
The world is slowly ending
And no one seems to care

It won’t be for a million years
So why the hell should it bother me?
I’d try to help if it were now, but,
My life’s more important than theirs

They’ll live underground
In caves we’ll never see
Dying of starvation
And radiation poisoning

Their limbs will fall apart
And their flesh will melt away
But that just doesn’t matter
Cause it’s not like that today

It won’t be for a million years
So why the hell should it bother me?
I’d try to help if it were now, but,
My life’s more important than theirs

They’ll just have to figure something out when they get there
I refuse to give a shit about who I don’t know
It’s up to them to make a way to keep this race alive
Or I could help?

You have not considered
An empathetic stance
Because if you were them
You would hate you in the past

It’s time to go to mars
A cool place not our own
Until we kill that planet too
We’ll wind up on Pluto

It might be a million years, but,
Let’s pretend the end were here today
Don’t you wish those idiots
Back in the 21st century had helped?
