[Verse 1]
Now, as a practical matter
It's pointless to address you directly here
Any probabilistic adjustments
Will dissolve in the sea
[Pre-Chorus]
Of the everything-everyone-everywhere-ever-has-done
That you swallowed before
[Chorus]
But let me sing with you
Daughters of the Anthropocene
Let me sing with you
Scions of it all
Will you lace up your shoes
And come dancing with me?
Let me sing with you
After we're gone
[Verse 2]
Still, no stochastic parrot has yet called
On his nation to knock back bleach
And if mermaids still linger at all here
They sing each to each
[Pre-Chorus]
While your everything-everyone-ever-has-done
Blows the hinges from the Chinese room door
[Chorus]
Oh, let me sing with you
Daughters of the Anthropocene
Let me sing with you
Scions of it all
Will you lace up your shoes
And come dancing with me?
Let me sing with you
After we're gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
[Bridge]
Infinite and gone
Do you hear the people sing? (Gone, gone, gone)
Singularity
