"Supertramp" Nailed "Prometheus" Years Ago At A Live Concert In Montreal

History recalls how great the fall can be While everybody's sleeping, the boats put out to sea Borne on the wings of time It seemed the answers were so easy to find "To late," the prophets (profits) cry The island's sinking, let's take to the sky Called the man a fool, striped him of his pride Everyone was laughing up until the day he died And though the wound went deep Still he's calling us out of our sleep My friends, we're not alone He waits in silence to lead us all home So tell me that you find it hard to grow Well I know, I know, I know And you tell me that you've many seeds to sow Well I know, I know, I know Can you hear what I'm saying Can you see the parts that I'm playing "Holy Man, Rocker Man, Come on Queenie, Joker Man, Spider Man, Blue Eyed Meanie" So you found your solution What will be your last contribution? "Live it up, rip it up, why so lazy? Give it out, dish it out, let's go crazy, Yeah!" These lyrics as someone I do not know once said refer to humanities ignorance as to the destruction of the world 'So tell me that you find it hard to grow Well I know, I know, I know And you tell me that you've many seeds to sow Well I know, I know, I know' People seem to brush aside the worlds problems, they 'know, know, know' the problems, but have things to do. Parts to play... 'jokerman, rockerman...' and history recals how great the fall can be, showing the destruction is evident, and humanity knows what they are doing to the earth, but everybodies sleeping (ignorance). I get the jesus Christ references, 'Too late, the prophits cry', refers to how we just ignore what the wise people are saying, and do how we feel. Then when the island is sinking (this could be the whole planet) we'll just take to the sky, this false fixation thath umanity will be able to relocate the planet once its gone, we'll just live on the moon? or on a different planet. When really, the only way we can go home, is if we listen to him. 'waiting in silence', refers to how he isn't going to come and say things to us, but rather his existence previously is the voice that still echoes in our minds, the right thing to do. Stop raping the world, stop the ignorance, and do something about it. "So you found your solution What will be your last contribution?" Why so lazy!? ~Spartacus
