It critiques the comfortable lifestyles that ignore the long-term environmental costs. Phrases like &#8220;Who&#8217;s the boss&#8221; and &#8220;At who&#8217;s loss&#8221; suggest a loss of control over freedom as society faces the consequences of its choices. The recurring chorus and bridge emphasize the disconnect between our actions (&#8220;tossed&#8221; and &#8220;crossed&#8221;) and the harsh reality of climate change, leaving us in a precarious &#8220;situation.&#8221; The outro highlights personal responsibility.<\/p>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/ygraine.membrane.com\/enterhtml\/live\/Business\/tunnel\/Golden_Rule.html\">The Golden Rule&#8217;s Social Justification<\/a><\/h2>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/ygraine.membrane.com\/enterhtml\/live\/Business\/tunnel\/sleeping_giant.html\">Never Wake a Sleeping Giant: The Future of Climate Change<\/a><\/h2>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/global_warming\/\">A song about The Human Induced Climate Change Experiment<\/a><\/h2>\n<h3>&#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/idea.membrane.com\/songwriter\/tag\/mish-mash\/\">Mish-Mash<\/a>&#8221; by <a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/The_Beatless_Sense_Mongers\/\">The Beatless Sense Mongers<\/a><\/h3>\n<h3>From the album &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/idea.membrane.com\/songwriter\/tag\/change-your-mind\/\">Change Your Mind<\/a>&#8221; by <a href=\"http:\/\/membrane.com\/change\/\">\u0394 To Cause a Change<\/a><\/h3>\n<h2><a href=\"http:\/\/kingarthur.com\/MegaEpix-Enormous\/multimedia\/V\/\">MegaEpix Enormous<\/a><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is-Living-Cushy-0.mp3 Is-Living-Cushy-0.mp4 Is-Living-Cushy-I.mp3 Is-Living-Cushy-I.mp4 Is-Living-Cushy-II.mp3 Is-Living-Cushy-II.mp4 Is-Living-Cushy-III.mp3 Is-Living-Cushy-III.mp4 Is-Living-Cushy-Prequel-1.mp3 Is-Living-Cushy-Prequel-1.mp4 Is-Living-Cushy-Prequel-2.mp3 Is-Living-Cushy-Prequel-2.mp4 Is-Living-Cushy-Unplugged-Underground-IV.mp3 Is-Living-Cushy-Unplugged-Underground-IV.mp4 Is-Living-Cushy-Unplugged.mp3 Is-Living-Cushy-Unplugged.mp4 Is-Living-Cushy-acoustic.mp3 Is-Living-Cushy-electric.mp3 [Intro] Are you sleep walking Mumble for talking At the risk of sounding pushy Is living cushy?
