Lyrics for The Creation and Destruction According to Mike


Part I: The Creation


I breathed a spark of life into a lifeless universe  

I made the trees and bushes from the scarcity and dearth  

And still I wasn’t happy in the end 

I needed someone else to have a talk with when I’s bored

I needed some self-consciousness to help even the score

I put a naked man down on the earth

He found himself in the same sort of crisis I was in

He felt so god-damned bored I cursed myself for making him

I threw him down and tore out his rib

Like playing with my legos I fit his rib inside a bone

Until I had a rib cage and some breasts and a womb

I introduced her to her man

They partied every day and slept like babies through the night

They rode on Terradactyls holding on with all their might

Their garden was their playground

One day he looked at her and it was not so innocent

They lay down in the bushes doing things not so decent

I had to hide my eyes and look away

When I met them in the evening they didn’t look at me the same

It was like I was a stranger intruding on their game

My loneliness came back like a knife

They don’t need me to construct another person when their sad

They do it on their own,  they’re now a mommy and a dad

I ain’t needed anymore

It’s like I don’t even exist  

I don’t think that I’m even missed  

Oh I’ve been thoroughly dismissed  

Oh you don’t want to see me pissed


Part II: The Destruction

You forgot your maker, don’t think your maker forgot you

Maybe you’ll remember me when I do the things I do

You’ll be sorry you lost track of me

I’ll raise the temperature of earth so slowly you won’t see

Like a frog who’s stuck in boiling water, you’ll swim like you are free

Till the moment it’s too late

Sure there will be signs like polar bears who’ve lost their home

But after all the arguing you won’t be certain that they’re gone

And then the storms will come

The sun will blast so brightly the sea will fly away to it

And swirl around the sky like a maniacal puppet

Till it all comes crashing down at once

Scientists love to argue that humans caused the storms to come

And their conclusion is correct, but their reasoning is wrong

What humans caused is almighty wrath

If you didn’t make me lonely I could have filtered fossil fuels

And patched the ozone layer with my special magic glue

Your irresponsibility could have been managed

I could have brought back to life all the species you killed off

I could have planted a new seed for every tree that you did log

Your home didn’t have to be a bloody mess

But alone I sit in heaven and look down at your carnival

You walk around like nothing is happening at all

How stupid you’ve become

I can’t even make you see

How mad you’ve made me

Even as the planet’s warming

You still don’t believe 

They say parents need to let their kids go, 

but oh, oh, I just don’t know
