A Report of People
by @stewdean
Liner Notes
We started with Report of Animals and end with A Report of People.
It's past the time of humans and the new occupants of Earth are working out just what went on here.
Written on Piano with my usual love of unusual chords.
This makes 14. An older friend of mine described this as a song cycle. I like that term.
So ends the animal song cycle. See you next year.
Lyrics
[verse 1] A paper boat Barely afloat, All they wrote, Wrapped around their throat,
All we find, Of human kind, From what's left behind, So, out of their mind!
It was written years ago. All they were, all they know!
[chorus] The fractured roads, The collapsing hall, Humans existed, Before us all,
The faded signs, The crumbling steeples. Our task to make, A report of people.
[Verse 2] A desert of pity, Once a city. A fading history, Crumbles under scrutiny.
And evolution Was not their solution Strident pollution, Choked every good resolution.
It was written years ago, All they were, all they know!
[Bridge] Gaia shone her eyes And we lived on, The two legs’ demise It’s better now that they’re gone.
[chorus] The fractured roads, The collapsing hall, Humans existed, Before us all,
The faded signs, The crumbling steeples. Our task to make, A report of people.
[chorus] The fractured roads, The collapsing hall, Humans existed, Before us all,
The faded signs, The crumbling steeples. Our task to make, A report of people.
