[Lyric] 6th Extinction Rock (Elliott J. Fox)

Insect populations are declining at a rate that we’ve never seen before
It doesn’t matter if they don’t pollinate when you don’t give a shit anymore
Microplastic particles are now inside of nearly everything we eat
And every year the agricultural red tide gets further out to sea

Every plastic bottle that you throw away will be here when your kids are old
You think a paper straw will savе the fish while getting Captain D’s to go
Thе max population that the earth can sustain is about 10 billion lives
That calculation’s based on arable land and the food it could provide

Despite the finite resources we treat the world like it’s an infinite domain
Chopping million year old rainforests down so we can give the cows some space
But virtual reality will save us all from the boredom freedom brings
But virtual reality won’t fill your lungs if there’s no air left to breathe

Even if emissions were to cease today we’d still warm a degree or two
The added methane in the arctic shelf will still cause a feedback loop
The clathrate gun is how the war is won when there’s no fuel left to burn
So we can dance in the ash of equatorial lands while the glacial age returns

So vape your cigarettes and drink your wine cause we’re fucked beyond repair
The total cost of humanity’s decline will be an economic burden to bear
And dystopia is just hoping for the best case that we could see
I’m looking forward to 2045 and relaxing on the Iowa sea
