All Too Often

[Intro]
All too often
Or not
All too often
Forgot
All too often
For naught

[Verse 1]
Still on the treadmill
The hamster wheel deal
Forego the freewill
Bypassing what’s real

[Bridge]
All too often
(Or not)
All too often
(Forgot)
All too often
(For naught)

[Chorus]
How many lives
Do you have to live
To try n’ die
Instead of give?

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Rat in a maze haze
The hamster wheel deal
Forego to amaze
Bypassing what’s real

[Bridge]
All too often
(Or not)
All too often
(Forgot)
All too often
(For naught)

[Chorus]
How many lives
Do you have to live
To try n’ die
Instead of give?

[Instrumental]

[Bridge]
All too often
(Or not)
All too often
(Forgot)
All too often
(For naught)

[Outro]
How many lives
Do you have to live

Consider the Taste

[Intro]
Stoke till ya choke
Choke until broke
Broke until fixed
Blokes transfixed

How you’ll consume
Way passed mass
Full gumption consumption

Stoke till ya choke (stoke, stoke)
Choke until broke (stoke, stoke)

Laid to waste

How much intake
Can we take (take, take, take)
Way passed mass
Full gumption consumption

Stoke till ya choke (stoke, stoke)
Choke until broke (stoke, stoke)
Broke until fixed
Blokes transfixed

Broke until fixed
Blokes transfixed

Spoils of War

[Intro]
Among their spoils of war
The gore
Mining Her of wealth
And health

[Verse 1]
Doing more than feed
Feeding on the greed
A point-of-view
Without you

[Chorus]
Forgot how to love (love, love)
Loving to hate (hate spate)
Enough of the take (take, take)
Give back some love (love, love)

Among their spoils of war
(The gore)
Mining Her of wealth
(And health)
Oh, no more
(Say no more)

[Verse 2]
Way more than need
Gorging on greed
Can’t you see
It’s all about me

[Chorus]
Forgot how to love (love, love)
Loving to hate (hate spate)
Enough of the take (take, take)
Give back some love (love, love)

[Bridge]
Among their spoils of war
(The gore)
Mining Her of wealth
(And health)
Oh, no more
(Say no more)

[Chorus]
Forgot how to love (love, love)
Loving to hate (hate spate)
Enough of the take (take, take)
Give back some love (love, love)

[Bridge]
Among their spoils of war

Mining Her of wealth
(And health)

Oh, no more

Half-Baked

[Intro]
Burnt on the outside (I cried)
Raw within (no win)
The chef can’t hide (he’s fried)
Patience wearing thin (again)

[Verse 1]
What do you make
Of give and take
To receive you believe
How to outlive to give?

[Bridge]
Burnt on the outside (I cried)
Raw within (no win)
The chef can’t hide (he’s fried)
Patience wearing thin (again)

[Chorus]
No mistake
He’s half-baked
Born a flake
That can not wake

[Verse 2]
How do you live
More take or give
To receive you believe
To give would aggrieve

[Bridge]
Burnt on the outside (I cried)
Raw within (no win)
The chef can’t hide (he’s fried)
Patience wearing thin (again)

[Chorus]
No mistake
He’s half-baked
Born a flake
That can not wake

[Bridge]
Burnt on the outside (I cried)
Raw within (no win)
The chef can’t hide (he’s fried)
Patience wearing thin (again)

[Outro]
No mistake
He’s half-baked

Didn’t really know
Your plan, Man

About the way
You’ve created today?

Planned planet
That’s on the go

Wear Out My Dancing Shoes

[Intro]
As I grow older
What keeps me young
Is to try n’ to wear out
These dancing shoes

[Verse 1]
To prolong the young
Let the song be song
And, be sure to wear out
Your dancing shoes

[Chorus]
I choose (to wear out these dancing shoes)
Wear them out to dance (at every chance)
Until they wear out (no doubt)
How about a dance? (is there a chance?)

[Bridge]
Do you want to wear out your dancing shoes
It’s a sure bet (you can’t lose)
Do you want to take those shoes for a cruise
(You’re blues forget) Dancing in your dancing shoes

[Verse 2]
The fountain of youth
Is easy to sleuth
Watch me wear out
These dancing shoes

[Chorus]
I choose (to wear out these dancing shoes)
Wear them out to dance (at every chance)
Until they wear out (no doubt)
How about a dance? (is there a chance?)

[Bridge]
Do you want to wear out your dancing shoes
It’s a sure bet (you can’t lose)
Do you want to take those shoes for a cruise
(You’re blues forget) Dancing in your dancing shoes

I choose (to wear out these dancing shoes)
Wear them out to dance (at every chance)
Until they wear out (no doubt)
How about a dance? (is there a chance?)

Wear out your dancing shoes (Dancing shoes)

Pick Up the Peaces

[Intro]
As the days grow shorter
The nights grow long
The usual order
Yet, something’s gone wrong

[Verse 1]
What used to take a century
Now happens in many years
Man’s self-made hierarchy
Bringing us all to tears

[Chorus]
As the days grow shorter
The nights grow long
The usual order
Yet, something’s gone wrong

[Bridge]
Can we pick up the pieces
(Pick up the peaces)
Love as our guide
(To get to the other side)

[Verse 2]
Acceleration rate
Propelled by the human race
Create their own fate
Destroying their own place

[Chorus]
As the days grow shorter
The nights grow long
The usual order
Yet, something’s gone wrong

[Bridge]
Can we pick up the pieces
(Pick up the peaces)
Love as our guide
(To get to the other side)

[Chorus]
As the days grow shorter
The nights grow long
The usual order
Yet, something’s gone wrong

[Outro]
Can we pick up the pieces
(Pick up the peaces)
Love as our guide
(To get to the other side)

A SCIENCE NOTE
Doubling time refers to the duration needed for a quantity to double in size, a characteristic of exponential growth. By 2020, substantial data revealed that the doubling time for certain anthropogenic climate impacts had decreased significantly, shifting from 100 years to merely 10 years. For instance, the rate of sea level rise has surged from approximately 1.5 millimeters per year to over 3 millimeters. This trend suggests that the doubling period is likely to further contract, heightening the prospect of sea levels ascending at a rate of one foot per year by 2050.

If the doubling time remains at 10 years, we could see extreme events 100% more intense and/or longer in duration, as well as, 14 times more likely to occur. As mentioned above, we expect the doubling time to be reduced. If the doubling time is 5 years, in ten years we could see 200% more intense and longer extreme weather events being 28 times more likely to occur.

2024 Update
Global average sea level rose by about 0.3 inches (0.76 centimeters) from 2022 to 2023, according to a NASA-led analysis. When we authored this paper in 2023, we could not have foreseen the swift acceleration of this trend. Initially projected to double over a span of 100 years, the rate of sea level rise dramatically escalated, shortening the doubling period to a mere 10 years by 2020. Shockingly, recent observations suggest that this doubling period has further compressed to just 2 years. It is imperative to acknowledge and address this concerning trend, hoping it is not a foreboding indication of a new norm but rather an anomaly.

* Our climate model uses chaos theory in an attempt to adequately account for humans and forecasts a global average temperature increase of 9 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. Everybody has the responsibility not to pollute. There are plenty of things you can do to help save the planet. Stop using fossil fuels. Consume less. Love more. Here is a list of additional actions you can take.

Thick Rhetoric

[Intro]
Rhetoric (so thick)
Sure ain’t music (makes ya sick)
To my ears (no, not what my ears hear)
In a state of hate
Based on fears

[Verse 1]
On the left
Daft at math
On the right
Irate primate
Denyin’ his climate

[Chorus]
Rhetoric (so thick)
Sure ain’t music (makes ya sick)
To my ears (no, not what my ears hear)
In a state of hate
Based on fears

[Bridge]
The air’s so thick
(With rhetoric)
Don’t ya think
We’re gonna sink
(And quick)
It’s weighing me
(Waying me)
Down
(Down, down, down)

[Verse 2]
They’re on the left of me
And, on the right
Double lobotomy
Prevents insight
(Promotes incite)

[Chorus]
Rhetoric (so thick)
Sure ain’t music (makes ya sick)
To my ears (no, not what my ears hear)
In a state of hate
Based on fears

Don’t ya think
We’re gonna sink

It’s weighing me

Numbers Are Numbers

[Intro]
Numbers are numbers
Know they don’t lie
The path through math
Will suppress your cry

[Verse 1]
See inequity rising
Not surprisingly
So is the sea
[Bridge]
Only rational thinking
Will stop our ship from sinking

[Chorus]
Numbers are numbers (1, 2)
Know they don’t lie (never do)
The path through math (3, 4)
Will suppress your cry (for sure)

[Verse 2]
If tax code is taxing
On your ‘facting’
Try to find your mind
(through being kind)
[Bridge]
Only rational thinking
Will stop our ship from sinking

[Chorus]
Numbers are numbers (1, 2)
Know they don’t lie (never do)
The path through math (3, 4)
Will suppress your cry (for sure)

[Bridge]
Only rational thinking
Will stop our ship from sinking

[Outro]
Numbers are numbers (1, 2)
Know they don’t lie (never do)
The path through math (3, 4)
Will suppress your cry (for sure)

A SCIENCE NOTE
Climate change will continue to exacerbate existing inequalities. As extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and other climate-related disruptions increase, those with fewer resources will struggle the most to adapt and recover. This growing inequality calls for a two-pronged approach: actively working to mitigate global warming and preparing for the socio-economic disparities it will inevitably deepen.

Why So Angry?

[Intro]
Why so angry?
State your decree
Carefully

[Verse 1]
What do you hope to gain
Through reciprocal pain
Sounds a bit insane
I try to refrain

[Bridge]
Why so angry?
State your decree
Carefully

[Chorus]
It is better
To keep your mouth closed
(and let people think you’re a fool)
Than to open it wide
(with reality collide)
… and remove all doubt.

[Verse 2]
Why insist on pain for gain
Impose strife on life
Sounds a bit insane
I try to refrain

[Bridge]
Why so angry?
State your decree
Carefully

[Chorus]
It is better
To keep your mouth closed
(and let people think you’re a fool)
Than to open it wide
(with reality collide)
… and remove all doubt.

[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo, Bass, Drum Fills]

[Bridge]
Why so mad
Isn’t that sad?
Think what life
You could’ve had
Why strife?

[Chorus]
It is better
To keep your mouth closed
(and let people think you’re a fool)
Than to open it wide
(with reality collide)
… and remove all doubt.

[Outro]
With reality collide
(with reality collide)

A NOTE ON SCIENCE AND ECONOMICS
Mark Twain is often credited with the witty observation: “It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.” This saying highlights the value of silence over speaking without knowledge, as it prevents others from confirming one’s ignorance.

Similarly, the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein, in his Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus, famously concluded with the statement: “Whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent.” This philosophical insight suggests that silence is preferable when one lacks sufficient understanding or clarity on a subject.

This song draws inspiration from these notions, particularly addressing the unwitting spread of misinformation and hate. It targets those who propagate harmful and false ideas through memes, especially concerning topics like immigration, inflation, wealth inequality, and fossil fuel extraction. The message is clear: spreading misinformation without a proper understanding of science and economics contributes to ignorance, harm, and more hate. The lyrics urge individuals who lack expertise in these areas to refrain from sharing misleading content, thereby curtailing the spread of ignorance. Anger and hate are detrimental not only to one’s physical and mental well-being but also to society, science, and economics. Negative emotions can lead to increased stress, health problems, and impaired judgment. On a broader scale, they contribute to social division, hinder scientific progress, and create economic instability by fostering environments where misinformation and irrational decision-making can thrive. It is crucial to foster a more positive and informed discourse to promote individual and collective well-being.
