about

Written October 1999

lyrics

For four and one-half billion years, the world is spinnin' in its tilted tracks
And it's only taken one twentieth century to see there is no turnin' back
All the scientists say that they know the age of the whole entire universe
While I wonder how well we know ourselves, but of course, it's first thing's first
And I'll have to rock this joint and say that we've reached the boiling point

The population hit six billion, baby, and doubled in the last thirty years
At this rate, I'm wonderin' how long it'll take until we all run out of frontier
A hundred years ago we didn't have an airplane, now we almost got a man on mars
We got a telescope fixed up in the heavens taking mugshots of foreign stars
And I'll have to rock this joint and say that we've reached the boiling point

Nowadays, everything is exponential, the explosive stage of growth
Has arrived to ignite our next potential, be it good or bad, or both
Quoth the raven, "nevermore," but I don't believe that we'll stop
'Cause we've kissed the wall of the parabola, and we'll ride it to the top
And I'll have to rock this joint and say that we've reached the boiling point

Water boils at two hundred twelve degrees, but until it hits, it sits still
When the maelstrom comes, it comes all at once, so prepare yourselves to distill
But of other possibilities, I'm wonderin' if we've overlooked an equally opportune fate
For what a fine waste of water, dear, to just watch it evaporate
And I'll have to rock this joint and say that we've reached the boiling point
