Ein Raggae-Rocktrack, ziemlich untypisch für mich: In dem genialen Text meines Freundes Richard geht es um die menschliche Entwicklung, die uns zum intelligentesten Wesen auf diesem Planeten gemacht hat, trotzdem zu dumm, um aus der Erde ein Paradies zu machen. Wir sind dabei, alls zu vermasseln: "Refined barbarians - learned nothing as history repeats".

Start with a single cell
Go for a skeleton
Develop your fins and some hair
Successful animal
The homo sapiens
A deeply disturbing affair
Don't overestimate
Your wee intelligence
It's not as distinct as it seems
Before you walked the ground
For some three billion years
Bacteria were clearly the cream
You're one of a kind, one of a kind, one of a kind, you're the human kind
The top-of-the-line, top-of-the-line, top-of-the-line latest boss design
Not even hard to analyze:
You're too plain dumb for paradise
Industrial livestock farms
Research with animals
Among your most outstanding feats
Armed to your baby teeth
Refined barbarians
Learned nothing as history repeats
It's more than forty years
"Limits to Growth" came out
Defining the Earth's credit line
But you're unteachable
Still praying cap in hand
At capitalism's tin shrine
You're just the clown of a divine creation
Now taking pride in overpopulation
More devastating still than earthquakes and tsunamis
Your lifespan could have been the Golden Ages
Had not your idiocy become outrageous
Your brilliant future life was cancelled at short notice
How could you fail to see
That man's collective goal
Is turning his home into trash?
A shiny tinted pearl
The best of all known worlds
Awaits an ecology crash
Go for a skeleton
Develop your fins and some hair
Successful animal
The homo sapiens
A deeply disturbing affair
Don't overestimate
Your wee intelligence
It's not as distinct as it seems
Before you walked the ground
For some three billion years
Bacteria were clearly the cream
You're one of a kind, one of a kind, one of a kind, you're the human kind
The top-of-the-line, top-of-the-line, top-of-the-line latest boss design
Not even hard to analyze:
You're too plain dumb for paradise

Research with animals
Among your most outstanding feats
Armed to your baby teeth
Refined barbarians
Learned nothing as history repeats
