about

A future world where people have chosen to admire those who help others through research and development and look down upon those who's actions only help themselves.

In this world, scientists, inventors and laborers are seen as more valuable than artists, athletes, and violent people of all categories.

lyrics

There was a time in our history when heroes
Were brutes and oafs
And the world that we lived in
Was down on its hopes

Intelligent people
Were generally hated
And the dull were praised
And the bright degraded

Three generations have passed
Since the new age
When our perceptions of class
Were so sick and deranged

Inversely related
To the depopulated
There was a surplus of knowledge
And a lack of hatred

Give us a moment give us your time and please express your mind
Tell us what can your research offer the world?
Fame is your reward!

Because no one ever changed the world for better
With poetry, song or witty banter
The social elite want you to meet these
Guidelines to benefit the species

To get ahead in this world
You must be inventive
There is no benefit
In being aggressive

Just think of what war has done
It's only a burden

Today you can see
Entertainers
But they certainly fall
Under a label

They give a short term feeling
With no deeper meaning
What was once respected
Is now shameful
