Enjoy The Golden Age

from The Fairy​-​Lit Tapes [Demos 2019] by Nova Soon

lyrics

When we were ten, our science teacher said,
'Don't let Al Gore get into your head.
Tune out his truth with my convenient lie:
this old Earth of ours is, was, and will be fine.'

I still dream about her, Diane Kermack, PhD;
thirty years from now, smirking in the ground,
while her grandkids scream.

Enjoy the golden age;
enjoy the cool wind on your face, while you can.
Enjoy the engine oil, and the fruit of foreign soil,
before they boil away.

My school and I spread round the Kermack lie;
the official fear felt thrilling to deny.

I told my older brother, hoping he'd think I was cool.
He turned away in shame; said, 'If you're not afraid,
boy, you're a damn fool.'

Enjoy the golden age;
enjoy the cool wind on your face.
Enjoy the engine oil, and the fruit of foreign soil.

Enjoy the deep blue waves;
the silence as they rise and break on heads in sand.
Enjoy the engine oil, and the fruit of foreign soil,
before they boil away.
