Eco-communities as a social vision

Eco-communities as a social vision
Egalitarian and ecological communities, like the pictured East Wind (www.eastwind.org), are very close to our vision of an ecological society

Dancing On Our Grave by Tankard, Album: The meaning of life 1990


This living planet is dying fast
Beset by parasites a terrifying plague
Does mankind have a right to live?
We take the earth for what she has and death we give
Atomic powers and acid rain
The ozone gone, you ask what's going on,

we're
Dancing on our grave - careless with no regrets
Dancing on our grave - there's no more turning back
Eons of evolution ravaged by pollution,
now we are Dancing on our grave

Civilization reeks of its waste
A toxic curse that lies forever on the race
Emissions killing silently
Get in the ground, the air, the water, every tree
Tipping the balance that nature held
We aimed at others but we shot ourselves,

we're
Dancing on our grave - careless with no regrets
Dancing on our grave - there's no more turning back
An eco-revolution is the sole solution,
but we're Dancing on our grave

Pleading for nature is trendy now
Deeds are replaced by words while time is running out
We didn't care for much too long
Catastrophes, extinction, cancer prove us wrong
The train of "progress" still races on
Straight to the gates of Hell, bid you farewell

Dancing on our grave - careless with no regrets
Dancing on our grave - there's no more turning back
Once man has been erased,
the world might be a better place,
we're Dancing on our grave


A really great song about the responsibility of humans for their devastating way of living. Though the end is near we prefer to make ecology a fashion, still keeping on dancing carelessly on the suffering planet which soon will become our grave. But then, earth may become a better place for the rest of the surviving species.

You can hear some songs in youtube:

reading the above lyrics we consider as a tragic irony, the fact that the majority of the uploaded Tankard's songs in the web have to deal with having fun, beers, headbanging and not about their great concern of environmental items. Headbanging on our grave indeed :-(

Well, I don't really think it may have success.

This cannot work in fact, that is what I consider.
