A Good World Spoiled Lyrics - Artist : Bull, Dan
Hey there folks, how do you do?
Now you're tuned in, welcome to radio nostalgia, smooth The place to go for mellow music while you play a round or two Down on that abandoned planet, surrounded by astounding views Once a crowded coop cluttered up by countless humans Clucking round without a clue that they're nothing without a use This whole world's now a putting ground for the powerful few Isn't it wonderful what uncontrolled wealth can do? And to think they called us selfish, too Without the supermarket who the hell would the fisherman sell fish to? The ice caps just lie flat, so what if we melt a few? Why drink from the stream when you can buy some Mountain Dew? Look, it sounds counterintuitive But nothing's out of bounds if you refuse to count the counterview How can you confound a counterrevolution without a suit to countersue? We just monopolise until they drop like flies out of view Charity begins at home and home is very far away We made a playground that's unsafe for any child to play A scenic view, now that the green is blue and skies are grey The things I've seen, it do, the things I've seen, it do, I'm not even sure I'd like to say Corporations are a force of nature, ever green By which I mean we're forever chasing green indefinitely None could keep our green in regulation, therein lies the rub Blood money, we vie for blood like a hungry tiger would You once took pride in providing for your livelihood Now you'd die to buy the cybertruck, call that survivorhood? See what I'm driving at? Could it even be more nicely putt? Is that a flying divot or a slice of life you're lining up? Not lying, look, provided that you'll financially thrive enough You might just be invited to the finest club this side of Earth This is no hybrid club, we don't mix iron and wood Just high society types residing up in towers of ivory, lush Charity begins at home and home is very far away We made a playground that's unsafe for any child to play A scenic view, now that the green is blue and skies are grey The things I've seen, it do, the things I've seen, it do, I'm not even sure I'd like to say Wait, do you hear thunder? If I was a few years younger I'd be hunkered down with you, sandwiched in a nuclear bunker Two vacuum proof suited humans hum soothing tunes Under a moonlit roofed tundra, cool as a couple of cucumbers No social security number, just a bank account And a frank account of how the bank got out of hand Then dealt a crushing blow, the kind of hit that might not get the airplay Behind the scenes we sign the deeds, why would we do it in the fair way? When corpulent corporations become more powerful than nations Tell me how is it at all a cause for praise or celebration? Make mistakes, not war, unless the war is profit-making Then make more and more, they'll always be repopulating That isn't debt consolidating, we're just under par To be honest saving dollars over planets has brung us far Tsunami waves and hurricanes are fun seen from afar While we wave at mother nature: "Look, we've finally done it, Ma!" And what is nature, but a loose impediment? Waiting for a corporation to drive a wedge straight through the sediment Never knew what we were doing, but we'd do it for the hell of it Improvise like Nick Henderson noodling on the theremin Prioritise accruing revenue above everything Boosting human endeavour to a new level it's never been New trends, loose ends, no true friends or fellowship We never do anything, unless directly to our benefit Charity begins at home and home is very far away We made a playground that's unsafe for any child to play A scenic view, now that the green is blue and skies are grey The things I've seen, it do, the things I've seen, it do, I'm not even sure I'd like to say |
