about

Priceless Crisis is a song about how the advancement of human evolution has been derailed due to our obsession with money. The worship of money is causing human evolution to go backwards, devolving us into our prior animal selves. Now we only seek comfort in objects that own us, rather than in our accomplishments and willingness to selflessly help the ones in need. Rarely do humans share something that could benefit the world without first asking “what is in it for me.” This obsession with money is also causing mass pollution by creating material objects that people have no real use for while needlessly exploiting global resources and fellow humans in the process. Profits over people has become a standard practice around our planet rather than focusing on the wellbeing of every man, woman and child. Sadly, we are now addicted to this false profit and only a paradigm shift will cause humanity to wake up to our invisible overlord. Imagine how many people could be fed, healed and sheltered instead of spending that money on weapons of death and mass manipulation.

lyrics

artist: cronkite satellite
song: priceless crisis
©2022

stop thinking about money
and start making cents (sense)
it's irrelevant to the progress
of existence
henceforth
a pitchfork and torch
to scorch this pale horse
and correct our course

it seems to me
that money is slowing down the speed
of our evolutionary trajectory
our species dreams turn into feces
like a disease
is it only me that

sees these
fallacies
hands in the air like freeze
drop to your knees
and empty out your mind please

priceless crisis
their fair share

i’ve got a lot of triggers
go figure
but not enough bullets
too scared to pull it
but would it even make a difference
let's go the distance
resist the bliss of ignorance
and let our brilliance flourish
admit it
you did it
i'm not an idiot
regrets and empty packs of cigarettes is all you have left
my guess is that nobody knows what's coming next
confess
you're selling lies and unrest to oppress

if there's only one thing i've learned in this life
it's that everybody's got a price
a vice
a plan so concise
they wouldn't think twice
to gamble with your life
just to increase their wallet size

say your goodbyes
and buy that time
we flying we dying peace and i'm out

priceless crisis
their fair share

stop thinking about money
and start making sense

it's irrelevant to the progress
it's irrelevant to the progress of our existence
