I believe this song is sarcastic, huffing about manmade alterations to nature. Even though a manmade lake is not so destructive (is it?) it is man altering nature and the only thoughts are how to protect humans, instead of what is natural. It’s satirical also in the sense that the thought is to NOT think about tomorrow, but to take in the high tide you must wait a while, maybe even all day. It’s commentary on the lack of vision into the distant future, but the obsession with the nearer one.
