about

The armageddon song. Due to the fact the end of mankind is maybe not the most positive concept around I decided to lighten up the end and not be even close to serious so we can all laugh along at the value in those values.

lyrics

Are you ready for this melody of mankind falling
To his knees can you see the sky oh god it's falling
Farther and faster the end all disaster
Our right to exist no longer persists
To light the way

Through the darkness of our ways
The root of all evil has priced our lives to pay

I hope that you can hear this harmony
Oh man please
You've gotta end this disease of sowing the black seeds of the weed greed (or os it weed greed?)
Before your blind date with too much carbon on your plate begins to dictate our fate
I know destruction breeds creation but it's easy to do so is that really a challenge for you?

Through the darkness of our days
The root of all evil has sold our souls as slaves

Beating the war drum
Of hypocrisy
Self fulfilling
Prophecy

Secrets are trumped by honesty
Corporate interest has to be
Trumped by the community
Innovation has to put the users in the drivers seat
Yea (lol)

We've gotta value those values

(And so I have had to realize the middle of the road - because falling off the fence can lead to broken bones yo)
