Hope and Humanity Lyrics

Oh, what the fuck is this

Our world has gone to piss

Sometimes it feels hopeless

But you just cry wokeness

How can you not reject

How can you just accept

All this insanity

Where's your humanity

Be a fucking person

Don't follow the worst one

Compassion is not weak

But the outlook is bleak

How the irrational

Have become national

Might be a fatal trend

But this is not the end

Hope isn't over yet

So maybe place a bet

Maybe the odds are low

But it'll be a show

We've come this far somehow

Why should it end right now

The story is not done

There's still light in the sun

Pessimism is easy

Optimism's cheesy

But what constructive end

Comes from that rueful blend

Even in dark ages

Monks still copied pages

So knowledge would live on

Hopeful for a new dawn

Though our fuel may run out

And our crops fall to drought

And our species may fail

All for want of a nail

Maybe some aliens will scout

Out our ruins and learn

From our mistakes

Or just about our breaks

Hope isn't over yet

So maybe place a bet

Maybe the odds are low

But it'll be a show

We've come this far somehow

Why should it end right now

The story is not done

There's still light in the sun

It's tempting to give up

I can barely blame you

When is enough, enough

All this stress can strain you

For there are no saviors

And this world has villains

No God to grant favors

And all of this will end

Hope isn't over yet

So maybe place a bet

Maybe the odds are low

But it'll be a show

We've come this far somehow

Why should it end right now

The story is not done

There's still light in the sun

Our story is tragic

And bereft of magic

But maybe some science

Will stop all our violence

I know it's unlikely

But the sun shines brightly

I know it will burn out

Until then, there is doubt

All this insanity

Where's your humanity
