I′m talking 'bout the Resource-Based Economy

The scientific method for social equality

Where our technology allows a life in global abundanceAnd the choice between contender and incumbent is redundant

Welcome to this pale blue dot in our galaxy

Where we fear the finality of your own mortality

And we worry ′bout our salary and consumption of calories

While famine and war have caused another fatality

We live in a finite world but our need for growth is infinite

Our relationship with money is so damn intimate

We can't slow down, we want more oh we're so into it

Intermit? It would be a sin to quit

So now the whole planet′s in debt we owe quite a tall stack

But it′s literally impossible to pay it all back because money is debt

Created with interest, you listenin'?

There′s actually more money owed than exists in the system

That's a pyramid scheme not just mean individuals

Skimming the cream not just smoke-filled rooms

Where the supremely powerful convene

It seems that systemic flaw Is the theme to this meme

Today′s system defines who wins and loses with competition

So losers are created by definition

Our leaders are ruled by political ambition

Not a single one of them is a trained technician

It would be insane to listen to their claims

And I'd rather use the Scientific method to arrive at decisions

So pardon my sedition but I stand by my derision

And fight against this system with a thought for ammunition

It′s the train of thought It's a frame of sorts

A campaign where you can't just feign support

The train of thought can′t be claimed or bought

It′s an idea there's no one you can blame in court

It′s a train of thought, it's not a game or sport

It pertains to humane and sustained support

Like a chain is wrought it can be trained and taught

To anyone with a brain let me explain in short

I′m talking 'bout the Resource-Based Economy

The scientific method for social equality

No political borders, no one giving you orders

It′s a world worth giving to our sons and daughters

I talking 'bout a Resource-Based Economy

The scientific method for social equality

Take care of the planet and meet everybody's needs

Make the world debt free just live and let be

We can′t control nature we can only try to fit the mould

So instead of growth and jobs let′s set ourselves a new goal

A bold, high standard of living for the planet as a whole

In a sustainable way for every human soul, young and old

Let go of your borders time to think worldwide

No more democracy and politics all that's been tried

Instead we use the scientific method as a guide

To arrive at decisions on how technology′s applied

And if we want to provide we can't take a resource and abuse it

We need to keep track of what we have and how fast we use it

Systems theory tells us everything in nature is connected

Cut too many trees the ecosystem is affected

So in production it makes sense to build everything to last

Planned obsolescence should be a thing of the past

And if we design fast evolving technologies to be modular

We can replace old parts with the new and more popular

To distribute our goods the shortest distance is preferred

To transfer from there what we can make here is absurd

Then we evaluate demand for goods and build hubs to receive them

Like a library where you check things out for as long as you need them

All of this is doable with today′s technology

Ss long as we apply the right methodology

'Cause scarcity is technically outdated, you follow me?

This way we can live in abundance and global equality

I′m talking 'bout the Resource-Based Economy

The scientific method for social equality

Where technology allows a life in global abundance

And the choice between contender and incumbent is redundant

The scientific method for social equality

Become the transition, it′s about damn time

The planet is shared by all of mankind

Incentive is the key to understanding volition

We don′t act without i it's behind any decision

There′s no human nature to behaviour, just predisposition

That has to be supported by the surrounding conditions

So the mission is one we should all agree to pick

No police, no prisons no referee to trick

Build a system with no incentive for harmful behaviour

'Cause if you remove the carrot you don′t need the stick

There would be nothing to gain from trying to mislead, mistreat or deceive

No incentive to thieve, what could you hope to achieve?

Anything you need you can get for free

And it would always be available so no reason for greed

Ten percent of the population makes the system run

So instead of working nine to five live your life for fun

Travel the world, raise a family, read a book

Build something beautifully useful or learn to cook

It's this generation′s defining challenge extraordinaire

It's not complicated just a comprehensive affair

For some it's a big mouthful for others a breath of fresh air

Don′t be scared ′cause it can be done don't despair

Educate yourself on how the current system′s impaired

But please do more than just make other people aware

When it comes down to it we have two things to declare

One: We all care and Two: We all share

That train of thought It's a frame of sorts

A campaign where you can′t just feign support

The train of thought can't be claimed or bought

It′s an idea, there's no one you can blame in court

It's a train of thought, it′s not a game or sport

It pertains to humane and sustained support

Like a chain is wrought it can be trained and taught
