We're All Gonna Die
Embracing Mortality: A Reflection on Humanity's Fate
Lyrics
Gee ain't it heavy this big bad world of ours
Gee, isn't this world heavy with its challenges and difficulties?
It's been crime and death and pillaging from the start
Throughout history, there has been a continuous presence of crime, death, and pillaging.
We've been bashing each others brains in, we've been fools and we've been cowards
We have engaged in violent conflicts, displayed foolishness, and cowardice.
And I almost forgot to mention all the wars
Not to forget, there have been numerous wars.
All the trees are gone, the animals too and the rivers are dry
Environmental degradation: deforestation, loss of wildlife, and dried-up rivers.
But there's money to be made so we don't care
Despite the environmental crisis, the pursuit of wealth remains a top priority, regardless of consequences.
There's diseases, plagues and pestilence we've been dominated by and in the end
We've faced diseases, plagues, and pestilence, and eventually, the unavoidable outcome.
We're all gonna die
The inescapable reality is that we will all face death.
We're all gonna die
A repetition emphasizing the inevitability of death.
We're all gonna die
-Gee ain't it frightening this doomed and dying earth
The situation on Earth is frightening, with natural disasters intensifying the sense of doom.
Forest fires, tsunamis and hurricanes
Specifically mentioning forest fires, tsunamis, and hurricanes as manifestations of the Earth's distress.
Being brainwashed by the media since the days of our birth
We've been subjected to media influence since birth, shaping our perceptions.
We've been driving cars and we've been flying planes
Mentioning technological advancements like cars and planes as contributors to environmental issues.
All our leaders are pure evil they're all wicked and vile
All leaders are criticized as being purely evil, while corporations are not exempt from blame.
And I won't start 'bout the corporations too
Highlighting issues like misleading information, cheating, two-timing, and a prevalence of lies.
There's misleading, cheating, two-timing and nothing but lies and in the end
A repetition underscoring the ultimate fate that awaits everyone.
We're all gonna die
Reiteration of the impending inevitability of death.
We're all gonna die
-We're all gonna die
-But maybe we can turn around, save this place, this holy ground we're on
Suggesting a glimmer of hope – the possibility of reversing the negative trends and saving the Earth.
Heal the world, make it a better place for you, for me, the entire human race
Expressing a desire to heal the world for the benefit of the entire human race.
But until that day comes, I'll be singing this song
Acknowledging the current state but maintaining a commitment to singing this song until positive change occurs.
We're all gonna die
Repetition of the unavoidable reality of death.
We're all gonna die
-We're all gonna die
-We're all gonna die
-Gonna die
Emphasizing the certainty of facing death.
