A Cautionary Tale Lyrics

Before the plague brought death and destruction

Earth was a lawless penal colony

Home to the misfits and hopeless delinquents

Who were forbidden to use advanced technology

Exiled to gain appreciation for civility

With no support or safety net of false security

The subsequent fall of those who cast them out secured our fate

Because karma's natural selection spared the reprobates

Those who rose to power, now turn up their noses

Captivated by reflections of their point of view

While poor tenant farmers shovel fertilizer

Humbly serving everyone with all the work they do

Looked down on for their lack of station in society

And their contempt for those who parade wealth flamboyantly

The hordes of common disheveled masses may have lost their way

But those who scoff from their sterile balconies shall rue the day
