APRÈS NOUS LE DÉLUGE
(written 2009/recorded 2009)
it's fun to revel at the expense of future generations
we bask in sweeping all our crap under the rug
we're able to afford 'cause we're the pride of creation
got the postponement bug, we will pass down the mud
après nous le déluge
après nous le déluge
we're piling up encumbrances for our descendants
they will have to make amends for our debauchery
overtaxing defenceless unborn payers with a vengeance
“mum and dad, why don't you realise you torture me”
and when all comes tumbling down
i'll watch it from my grave
my children's children are gonna find a way
to survive by dwelling in a cave
hence i won't restrict myself
'cause this is now and here
so would you please let me
savour my festive cheer
hence i won't restrict myself
'cause this is now and here
après nous le déluge
après nous le déluge
we deserve to have the right to depredate the planet
we just presume to have the right to live like lords
it's fun to dissipate in luxury at the expense of tomorrow
ask us to live in modesty and we'll, with laughter, snort
