Things It Would Have Been Helpful to Know Before the Revolution

It got too hot and so we overthrew the system

'Cause there's no place for human existence like right here

On this bright blue marble orbited by trash

Man, there's no beating that

It was no big thing to give up the way of life we had

Oh ho oh

My social life is now quite a bit less hectic

The nightlife and the protests are pretty scarce

Now I mostly spend the long days walking through the city

Empty as a tomb

Sometimes I miss the top of the food chain

But what a perfect afternoon

Industry and commerce toppled to their knees

The gears of progress halted

The underclass set free

The super-ego shatters with our ideologies

The obscene injunction to enjoy life

Disappears as in a dream

And as we return to out native state

To our primal scene

The temperature, it started dropping

The ice floes began to freeze

From time to time we all get a bit restless

With no one advertising to us constantly

But the tribe at the former airport

Some nights has meat and dancing

If you don't mind gathering and hunting

We're all still pretty good at eating on the run

Things it would have been helpful to know before the revolution

Though I'll admit some degree of resentment

For the sudden lack of convenience around here

But there are some visionaries among us developing some products

To aid us in our struggle to survive

On this godless rock that refuses to die
