One planet, one chance
And look what happened
The prophecies of doom
Are beginning to turn true

Human, it wont be long until your clock is dead
And the comets fall like rain
With no one left to repeat history

Regrets with no thought
Open wide swallow the cost.
Did it ever cross your mind?
6 billion seeds consuming resources and time
What about the next 100 fucking years?

Human, it wont be long until your clock is dead
And the comets fall like rain
With no one left to repeat history
Reform? It's too late, just open wide

Because the world is not a stage
And we at the end of the line
Are not merely players in time
We're the end result

Of progress forcing a new beginning
Lifelong addiction for mass extinctions
Avoidable from the start

A map, a compass rose
Short walks down Darwin's road
A sign, anything dear God
Make it stop, one shot, one kill, one shot

Human, it wont be long until your clock is dead
And the comets fall like rain
With no one left to repeat history

Regrets, reform, rebuild, too late
We all participate
Get it on your mind

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
