Corrections, from liner notes:

a. The tree it fell on all the people who* gathered there to watch it topplee

b. should we mobilize, take them by surprise or let them have their way with us?

  • young love's beat by old enemies it* broke my heart to see
  • guess we got off to a bad start

c. hungry humans, we've got to eat some of them?*

d. and* the river's ran dry just when it was needed

e. it was* hard to breathe but we couldn't leave nowhere left to go almost everybody died we drank the tears from those who died and we shrivelled from the sodium then a map was found with an "X" on it we followed it there and what did we find? an underground design so we entered and to our surprise...

f. oxygen, rivers and playgrounds ... so we stumbled towards them

g. but we had to build a civilization and let the planet focus on the planet's rotation ... we tried we tried, we really tried but no one could do it we're not really alive never learned how to survive we were humans being useless

h. we fade into oblivion with no traces of civilized living breathing in dirt we fade into oblivion with no traces of civilized living
