[Verse 1]
A lot of cold hard facts
Are hard to digest
So, might I suggest
Relax

[Chorus]
Listen to words of wisdom
Learn to learn earn awesome
Try to understand
The world at the hand of Man
[Break]
Damned demand

[Instrumental, Guitar Solo, Drum Fills]

[Verse 2]
The prime primate
Has been messing with the climate
With absolutely no plan
Nor desire to disband

[Chorus]
Listen to words of wisdom
Learn to learn earn awesome
Try to understand
The world at the hand of Man
[Break]
Damned demand

[Instrumental, Saxophone Solo, Bass]

[Bridge]
Have you asked yourself why
We don’t care who will die
Self-annihilation desire
Going higher (dire, dire)

[Chorus]
Listen to words of wisdom
Learn to learn earn awesome
Try to understand
The world at the hand of Man
[Outro]
Damned demand

A SCIENCE NOTE
“Words of Wisdom” is a poignant reflection on humanity’s impact on the environment and the urgent need for introspection and action in the face of climate change.

The opening lines of the song acknowledge the challenge of confronting difficult truths about climate change. The suggestion to “Relax” serves as a call for listeners to approach the topic with an open mind and a willingness to engage with uncomfortable realities.

The chorus emphasizes the importance of listening to “words of wisdom” and learning from the collective knowledge and experiences of others. It urges listeners to seek understanding and awareness of the world’s challenges, particularly those caused by human activity. The repetition of the phrase “Learn to learn earn awesome” suggests that by educating ourselves and taking meaningful action, we can create a better future.

In the second verse, the song addresses the role of humanity, metaphorically referred to as the “prime primate,” in exacerbating climate change. The lack of a coherent plan or desire to address the issue is highlighted, emphasizing the need for accountability and responsibility.

The bridge delves deeper into the motivations behind humanity’s destructive behavior, questioning why we seem indifferent to the consequences of our actions. The reference to “self-annihilation desire” suggests a reckless disregard for the long-term consequences of our behavior, leading to a sense of urgency and desperation.

Throughout the song, there is a sense of frustration and urgency, echoed in the repeated phrase “Damned demand.” This phrase encapsulates the idea that despite the urgent need for action, there is often resistance or apathy, hindering progress towards addressing climate change.

“Words of Wisdom” tries to serve as a powerful reminder of the importance of collective action and awareness in confronting the existential threat of climate change. It calls on listeners to heed the lessons of the past, educate themselves, and strive for a more sustainable and equitable future.
