Kyoto Now! lyrics

It's a matter of prescience

No, not the science-fiction kind

It's all about ignorance

And greed and miracles for the blind

The media parading disjointed politics

Founded on petrochemical plunder

And we're its hostages

If you stand to reason you're in the game

The rules may be elusive but our pieces are the same

And you know if one goes down we all go down as well

The balance is precarious as anyone can tell

The world's going to hell

Don't allow

This mythologic, hopeful monster to exact its price

Kyoto now

We can't do nothing and think someone else will make it right

You might not think it matters now

But what if you are wrong?

You might not think there's any wisdom

In a fucked up punk rock song

But the way it is cannot persist for long

A brutal sun is rising on a sick horizon

It's in the way we live our lives

Exactly like the double edge of a cold, familiar knife

And supremacy weighs heavy on the day

It's never really what you own

But what you threw away

And how much did you pay?

Don't allow

This mythologic, hopeful monster to exact its price

Kyoto now

We can't do nothing and think someone else will make it right

In your dreams

You saw a steady state of bounty for eternity

Silent scream

But now the wisdom that sustains us is in full retreat

Don't allow

This mythologic hopeful monster isn't worth the risk

Kyoto now!

We can't have vision for the future if it can't be fixed

Alien

We need a fresh and new religion to run our lives

Hand in hand

The arid torpor of inaction will be our demise

Kyoto now!
