Things It Would Have Been Helpful to Know Before the Revolution - The Haxan Cloak Remix

Lyrics

It got too hot and so we overthrew the system
 'Cause there's no place for human existence like right here
 On this bright blue marble orbited by trash
 Man, there's no beating that
 It was no big thing to give up the way of life we had
 Oh ho oh
 My social life is now quite a bit less hectic
 The nightlife and the protests are pretty scarce
 Now I mostly spend the long days walking through the city
 Empty as a tomb
 Sometimes I miss the top of the food chain
 But what a perfect afternoon
 Industry and commerce toppled to their knees
 The gears of progress halted
 The underclass set free
 The super-ego shatters with our ideologies
 The obscene injunction to enjoy life
 Disappears as in a dream
 And as we return to out native state
 To our primal scene
 The temperature, it started dropping
 The ice floes began to freeze
 From time to time we all get a bit restless
 With no one advertising to us constantly
 But the tribe at the former airport
 Some nights has meat and dancing
 If you don't mind gathering and hunting
 We're all still pretty good at eating on the run
 Things it would have been helpful to know before the revolution
 Though I'll admit some degree of resentment
 For the sudden lack of convenience around here
 But there are some visionaries among us developing some products
 To aid us in our struggle to survive
 On this godless rock that refuses to die
