[Verse 1]

I'm sick of hearing how we upset the balance

And the world would be fine in our absence

That's such a negative vision

So let me show you how to flip it

[Verse 2]

If it was really like that

Life wouldn't almost have died five times

Before we arrived, no, life's goal is suicide

And we're the only ones who can save it

[Verse 3]

How's that for positive?

It's possible, but the proof gets weird though, so here we go

Every organism fucks and dies morе than they need to

Well beyond what thе planet can support

[Verse 4]

They make poison out of closed systems

And they kill most of their brothers 'cause of competition

Listen, can you hear the feedback loop? (listen, listen, listen)

It's getting stronger, that's how most in nature react too

[Verse 5]

Winners over-succeed, drown in their own waste

And get replaced by new ones who can stand the taste

'Cause we all eat something's shit

We just also learned to gas a car with it. Yeah!

[Chorus]

Let's go do something dumb today

See what we can break

I know that we'll get out of it

I'm positive

Let's go do something dumb today

See what we can break

I know that we'll get out of it

I'm positive

[Verse 6]

Snowball Earths have happened twice

That's where the whole world's frozen ice

Greenhouse gasses, mass extinctions

All of these were caused by life, right?

[Verse 7]

But we're not automatons, we understand wrong

And we can see it coming

So while microbes and plankton are dumb and don't plan

Then I'm sure we can come up with something

[Verse 8]

Something will save us, it won't be our natures

At least not our gut feelings and base behaviours

But we can be saviours, buy some time

For every single other kind of life

[Verse 9]

Currently living, stop them from doing too well

Taking things over, choking themselves to death

If life wants to die, we can realise that

And try to fight back. Yep!

[Chorus]

Let's go do something dumb today

See what we can break

I know that we'll get out of it

I'm positive

Let's go do something dumb today

See what we can break

I know that we'll get out of it

I'm positive
