It's a matter of prescience  
No, not the science fiction kind  
It's all about ignorance,  
and greed, and miracles for the blind  
the media parading, disjointed politics  
founded on petrochemical plunder  
and we're its hostages  
 
If you stand to reason  
you're in the game  
the rules might be elusive  
but our pieces are the same  
and you know if one goes down we all go down as well  
the balance is precarious as anyone can tell  
this world's going to hell  
 
Don't allow  
this mythologic hopeful monster to exact its price  
Kyoto now!  
We can't do nothing and I think someone else will make it right  
 
You might not think it matters now  
But what if you are wrong  
You might not think there's any wisdom in a fucked up punk rock song  
But the way it is  
cannot persist for long  
a brutal sun is rising on a sick horizon  
 
It's in the way  
we live our lives  
exactly like the double-edge of a cold familiar knife  
and supremacy weighs heavy on the day  
it's never really what you own but what you threw away  
and how much did you pay?  
 
In your dreams  
You saw a steady state a bounty for eternity  
Silent screams  
but now the wisdom that sustains us is in full retreat  
Don't allow  
this mythologic hopeful monster isn't worth the risk  
Kyoto now!  
We can't have vision for the future if it can't be fixed  
Alien  
We need a fresh and new religion to run our lives  
Hand in hand  
the arid torpor of inaction will be our demise  
 
Oh, Kyoto now!
