Lyrics to the song that was inspired by the interview:
THE MOLOCH TRAP
VERSE
G
How on earth will we survive?
Em
Nature's worth more dead than alive
C
It's a race to cut down the trees
D
Before somebody else does
BRIDGE
C D
Where are our brains and imagination?
G D/F# Em
Smokestacks pumping out damnation
C
There's no way to prevent this
D
Cos we have...
CHORUS
G
Perverse incentives
Em
To sacrifice values
C
Be more competitive
D
Racing to the bottom
How can we stop them?
Without co-operation
The tragedy of the commons
Unnecessary sadness
Multipolar madness
Walking to the Moloch Trap
How do we turn?
How do we turn?
And break the cycle
Not fulfill
The prediction
Of human extinction
VERSE
Wars are good for the economy
Pollution boosts our GDP
Its nuclear weapons or risk destruction
AIs now an arms race
BRIDGE
What's good for others, is good because
It's long term good for all of us
Where are the glad and wise?
Instead, we have...
CHORUS
OUTRO
Do you mourn for Maldek?
Have fury at Lemuria?
And the conflicts of Atlantis?
Do you reminisce?
Free will vs Freedom
Within the law of karma
The madness of this
Moloch drama
Are we gonna rise up?
Are we going to stand?
Or are we going to fall?
Are we going to fail?
