to galvanise the apathetic youth of today,
you need something for them to aim at,
the imminent threat of their planet's destruction,
is the kind of thing that'll do that,

but the bad guys here don't wear black helmets,
or in some cases white,
and our crises can't be solved,
with an intragalactic fight

it's easy to see,
that a planet smashing machine,
is a device only evil men would make,
it's easy for you,
it's clear what to do,
the universe is clear what's at stake,

our leaders don't crush throats in morning meetings,
or kill idiots like veers,
or force fake confessions from captured prisoners,
with torture, drugs and fear,

well actually that second part,
sounds a little close to home,
but the narratives of our lives lack the,
omniscience to make it known,

it's easy to see,
that a planet smashing machine,
is a device only evil men would make,
it's easy for you,
it's clear what to do,
the universe is clear what's at stake
