Mistakes Have Been Made

You’re in the desert, the hot hot desert,
but it don’t matter ‘cause you’re dead.
And it don’t matter just what desert,
‘cause it’s all desert and it’s dead.
No one’s there to remember where you bought that t-shirt
or your last two-week vacation, they’re all dead
But you got to party and you had spending money
And you were kinda special, and now you’re dead.

There used to be oceans full of plankton and fishes,
now they’re full of plastic and they’re dead.
And there were verdant meadows with animals aplenty
only fading books remember what is dead.
The end, it started slowly and then it came on quickly
the masses, they were clueless…now they’re dead.
The experts, they did warn them…but no one paid attention
And politicians dithered, and they said

“Mistakes have been made”.

Some people made a fortune while others toiled and suffered.
One thing they have in common? They’re all dead.
The wealthy had their money and lawyers did their bidding
they all just kept on lying, now they’re dead.
The planet they did break it for trinkets and tokens
and everybody bought it, now they’re dead.
The last rich man expired on a mattress full of dollars
in a mansion cracked and crumbling, and he said:

“Mistakes have been made”.
