Tekst piosenki
[Intro: Interviewer and Michio Kaku] ... from your universe it would look like a black hole Yes, are we ready to be gods? Now, ehh, suppose you came upon this equation and unleash it And give the world the kind of power you're talking about Godlike... power Wouldn't you think twice or three times before you said "Hey! I've got it!" What is the hallmark of science? The hallmark of science is that it's reproducible And in principle ... falsifiable [Verse 1: Greydon] There's no going back the hands have been dealt Life is the only wealth, why stop at managing health Wait til they find out that man is enhancing himself That we now have the technology to kill cancerous cells The Kardashev scale, don't care if you went to Harvard or Yale If you don't fight for the future, you'll be a part of the sale (they sold the future) You wanted to grow up so fast when you was a kid Now you're trying to get back into shape stay youthful and live What if I proposed a pill that would do what that did You'd live 900 years like Methuselah's myth What would you do with it, would you take it and swallow? Or dismiss the solution and keep the age old problem? I'd want to live to meet my great grand-kid's children I'd love to see an exponential growth in my lyrics Act like if I was immortal, I'd stop being Eddie But I should be able to choose whether to die when I'm ready [Interlude: Michio Kaku] We have baby pictures of the big bang These baby pictures of the big bang are when the baby universe was about 300,000 years of age So think of a baby being born, we now have pictures of the universe an hour after birth (an hour) We want a picture of the big bang as it's emerging the uterus, as it's coming out of the womb (check it) [Verse 2: Greydon] I never want to die, I shouldn't have to I just want to take to space into the vacuum Give me my own ship, let me explore the cosmos The complex symphony unknown ensemble The powers that be try to tell me to stop But we all hail from a pale blue dot Whether you like it or not Use force to escape inertia And celebrate my emancipation from Terra Firma We are the source of where gods come from Welcome, as we prepare to take you to type one And you know whats more sick, as a war vet I actually feel pretty honored to stimulate your cortex So get lost in the vortex, it's the dark tunnel Approaching the singularity of this dark funnel And they're right as far as Greydon goes, Sagan got him While the more gullible fell victim to the Reagan doctrine Lyrically I want to be this generation's Common They want us to change the message, we'll just change the octave The broken logic, and its basic dangers All this for you to enjoy safe in your stasis chambers [Outro: Interviewer + Michio Kaku] Alright, just for the sake ... of this, discussion Let us assume all of this turns out to be true How big a step for humanity would that be toward becoming a type I civilization? Well, this would be an enormous big step with a lot of "ifs" that have to be satisfied, of course We're talking of inexhaustible forces of energy almost for free This would be comparable to the unleashing of steam power - about 150 years ago So it was steam power that revolutionized the last century So we're talking about a new leap on that scale, if these results pan out You know, that's interesting because it has always seemed like a race between self-destruction on the one hand And attaining type one status on the other hand
