about

When you consider the pollutants we're pumping into the life system, into the air, the soil, the water, and that the economic system that dominates us, most of us by inheritance but some of us are so privileged and comfy that we insist this is the only/best way to organize ourselves... and war is a natural outcome of that winner-take-all competitive system and it's driven by fear, by the mental life we adopt which fails to recognize the interconnection of all things and so clings to the physical as if it were all... well, that's what this song is about.

lyrics

It's all real I mean it's just as real to be
on the street beat as to chauffeur up your windin drive
and it's all possible

and it's probable if we continually strive
after the chauffeured drive
planet will throw up planet lymphoma
it's perfectly possible

have you seen oncology death wards
have you heard the rattle of pneumonia
have you been the family at the last breath
have you have you have you have you

2.

it's all real I mean it's just as real to be
underneath the steel wheel as to try to flag a taxi
and it's all possible

and it's probable
that as we give the store to disciples of war
planet will throw up planet will blow up
it's perfectly possible

have you seen Hiroshima have you seen Chernobyl
have you seen the glowing cloud come from Fukushima
have you seen the floating crude have you heard the warning
have you have you have you have you

it's probably probable
