Shifting Baseline Syndrome

Shifting Baseline Syndrome by robotson

every little bit

that we move within

makes us further on

to deliverance

from eternal sin

and commercial bliss

never knew what -

came before this. 

see ya next fall

have a nice trip.

have a nice day,

nice while it lasts anyway

put the glasses away

we don’t have to display

what we’re after today

because after today

doesn’t matter you say

its the profit we made

don’t have to explain

what it costs to be great-

role that we play

master of all domains

with our goal that we’ve made

to control time and space

situation change

downgrade upgrade

sideways or

stay the same - hah!

but you boil hot

never noticed the

temperature

up inside the pot

remember our haste when

the baseline has shifted

new boss is the same as the old

a new generation

is starting to listen

historical trends that’ll show

walking around down town in the cities

looking around at all the conviction

It must be so nice to have all this assurance

that everything’s normal and running so smoothly

tomorrow will wake up and no one will be lost

everyone makes it to work at the same time

economy ties the whole planet together

we’ll have world peace under one dollar sign

remember our haste when

the baseline has shifted

new boss is the same as the old

a new generation

is starting to listen

historical trends that’ll show
