Jodi Heights - The Iceberg (Official Music Video)
There was once a time when humans ruled the worldSee, here’s a display of their remainsBusiness and technology were going strongBut consumption couldn’t be sustainedHard to imagine how many of them there wereBillions of them living out their livesAnd here in our history book of planet earthIs the story of their own demise
Just the tip of the icebergA slow walk off a plankA little drop in the ocean until society sankWe ignored all the warnings and focused on other thingsWe didn’t hear the sound it made when we finally felled the last treeWe would’ve got around to it eventuallyBut we were kind of busy
Now class what can we all learn from what we’ve seen?How can we avoid the same mistakes?If we as a species are short-sighted like they wereCould we end up like the human race?With an industrial strength ignoranceThey left their carbon footprints everywhereHere is a recording of their final wordsWith the reasons why they weren’t prepared
Just the tip of the icebergOne final walk in the parkWhile the whole world was burningWe were still in the dark‘Cause we were checking our email and going shopping onlineAnd running in the rat race ‘til we finally ran out of timeWe thought we only needed money to keep us aliveBut couldn’t eat it, couldn’t drink it, couldn’t breathe it to surviveDidn’t bother taking action ‘til it was too lateWe sealed our own fate
