Cosmic Irony Lyrics

All our life we’ve heard the same old song

Now’s our last chance to change the path we're on

With waves of heat, barren fields and floods

This thing’s been looming long to put an end to us

If these threats came from some foreign nation

We would have wiped it out years ago

What we need a common enemy

This one can occupy the (entire) weapons industry

A war for all that’ll make our children proud

And leave a home for their children, able to sprout

It’s time to change the tide so it won’t kill us

And turn those good intentions into ways

We’ve got a fucking war to win

Na na, na na na na

Don’t you see the cosmic irony

In pressing on this way and putting all our faith

In terraforming of some distant rock

When we can’t even take care of the one we’ve got

I'd love to see the world from your perspective

But my head won't fit that far up my ass

All our spoils somehow turned us defective

But it's not the end of the world, just of us

We got a fucking war to win
