Enough, for everyone, forever
Into the deep future
Enough, for everyone, forever
Into the deep future
Enough, for everyone, forever
Into the deep future

Those who were seen dancing
Were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music
And those who were dancing
Were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music

How now shall we live?
If we were to liberate ourselves from today’s myths and step into new myths
We could free ourselves from this bondage of the mind
If only in a moment of madness
Shake ourselves, shake ourselves

In the wake of industrial civilisation’s collapse
We are being called to make things new
It was not so much a break down
Than it was a break through
It was not so much a break down
Than it was a break through
With the responsibility of building a world of our own making
Life after the crash
Ecologically sustainable into the deep future
Doing what we can to highlight the fundamental importance of material simplicity to a just, sustainable and flourishing civilisation
As if we were apprentices of freedom without a master to guide us
Perhaps it is the anarchist in us
Perhaps it is the anarchist in us
Learning the art of self-governance by way of practice
Get involved, you are needed
Get involved, you are needed

Those who were seen dancing
Were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music
And those who were dancing
Were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music

Given that we desired an inclusive and participatory democracy
We chose to live it into existence
The meaning and practice of freedom
The meaning and practice of freedom
The nature of humanity is what we choose it to be
We must each take responsibility
We serve the common good because it is in our enlightened self-interest to do so
Get involved you are needed
Get involved you are needed
Their lives were suddenly aglow with meaning and direction
Their lives were suddenly aglow with meaning and direction

We should die trying to building a flourishing, simple, low-energy civilisation
Not because we think it will succeed
But because if we do not do what we can
Something noble in our hearts and spirits will be lost
Are going to open our eyes
Are going to open our eyes
Or are we going to let things burn to the ground
With heads in the sand as the tide moves in
If only in a moment of madness
Shake ourselves awake
Shake ourselves awake
The future however is unwritten
The nature of humanity is what we choose it to be

Those who were seen dancing
Were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music
And those who were dancing
Were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music

But every now and then I see signs that the sparks of simplicity are beginning to burn brighter
If you see any such sparks, gentle reader
Please blow on the embers
Like a torch
And pass the flame on
We are all in this together
We are the people we have been waiting for
And if this story holds any truth
We should want to be
We have to be
Let us be pioneers once more

Those who were seen dancing
Were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music
And those who were dancing
Were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music

Enough, for everyone, forever
Into the deep future
