about

A haunting ecological-fear road movie song. The dodo is dead, but do you care?

lyrics

Sit alone and drive your car
where you’re goin’ is not too far
“Much better than a crowded bus”
“Don’t give me that energy fuss”

CHORUS

What do you care, if the world is dying?
What do you care, if the Dodo is dead?


When it’s hot you want cold air
The machines make it hotter but you don´t care
You’ve got your problems, the world’s got its
Glaciers are meltin’, you don’t give a shit

CHORUS

I don´t wanna be a dodo mum
I don´t wanna have to run away from the sun when is shines
I don´t wanna be a dinosaur
I don´t want to die with a roar but a smile on my face
Instead of waiting for the Apocalypse
Let´s talk about how to fix the human race
They say that we´re incorrigible
But´s that´s a load of bull that needs to be erased

What are we doin´ in this place?
Don´t we know it´s the only space we´ve got where we can be alive
What are our options, we´ve got none
Either stop consuming or we will run out the time
Like the Lemmings we can kill ourselves
A mass extinction or if not we could survive
Survival sounds like a better way
If we want our kids to pay in the sun when it shines

Go to a temple and pray to God
Beg forgiveness for being a slob
Love your kids and love your boss
Love the guy hangin’ from the cross

CHORUS

Refugees are invading
On the outside they’re starving
Reefs are gone, jungles are burnt
The storm is coming, what have you learnt?
