Cover art for Slumber lyrics by Bad Religion

anyone else laugh the first time they heard that line? just doesn't seem to fit at first listen. i don't think he is being sarcastic. i think he means that the things we people do affect history and will continue to affect the world. the environmental pollution will scar this earth for a damn long time and we all contribute to it, so life is significant, in a bad way..
