Everything Happens in the Present Tense (Holt)
Words and Music by Warwick Holt
Vocals: Wok
Back on Earth, New Age Prophets accurately foresee Earth's impending
doom. Only their obsession with the danger the Human Race presents itself
prevents them from descrying the true source of peril.
Trapped in three dimensions with an eye into four
Left to live our crises day by day
What's the benefit of hindsight? The chances of fore?
Don't know what we're doing today
Cut all those threads to the helium balloon
Before you lose the picture for good
Crawl on the Earth before you walk on the Moon
Wear out your pride in your manhood
As everything happens in the present tense
Everybody lost in the present sense
Everyone embarking on their own defense
Everything happens in the present
Memories twirl their glitter and gold
Speculations hold the promise of joy
Any time is better than the one we behold
As we furnish our home to destroy
Yesterday's lesson says tomorrow is brief
Better make the most of it while it lasts
Desensitisation's a form of relief
Choose our futures no more than our pasts
