BTW, wrote a song about it...

Civilizations Doomed

This pretty planet grows in green

It’s the color of this scene

Natural systems keep it clean

It’s life we need to breathe

4 million years of our success

Must not have meant too much I guess

Because 10 thousand years ago

Civilizations began to grow

Now that’s when Kings began to rule

People reduced to a tool

To rape and pillage nature’s jewel

It’s the history of denial

I guess that’s why some don’t see

Planet Earth’s reality

Compliant to authority

And schooled to stay in line

Civilization’s doomed

Half the planet’s been consumed

Tribal ways will be resumed

Because civilization’s doomed

Archeologists surmise

On the Great Empire demise

Read those Hieroglyphic lies

But the people did survive

Utopian philosophy

Don’t let people be too free

Eliminate diversity

It’s spirit that they mine

Civilization’s doomed

Half the planet’s been consumed

Tribal ways will be resumed

Because civilization’s doomed

The problem for the majority

Is this rich minority

Who control the economy

They see no other way

While some insist we play the game

Even while their candidates are lame

Talk like we know where it’s at

And then go vote Republicrat

Civilization’s doomed

Half the planet’s been consumed

Tribal ways will be resumed

Because civilization’s doomed
