The World is Flat is the fourth track off of Unwound’s 1998 album, Challenge for a Civilized Society
The title of the track isn’t as much of a personal belief/statement, as it is a way of hyperbolically representing the dilemma apparent within the lyrics
And in these lyrics contain an explanation...
He was dethroned
Severely disowned
He battled the king
And lost everything
I don't know if I
Really want to try
Finding out just why
I don't know if I
Ever want to buy
Answers that are lies
He spent most of his youth
Faced with the truth
Trying too hard
Thinking out loud
I don't know if I
Really want to try
Finding out just why
I don't know if I
Ever want to buy
Answers that are lies
And once removed
He connects the past
Alphabetically
(In parenthesis)
I don't know if I
Really want to try
Finding out just why
I wish life could be
Just as nice to me
As it's meant to be
