The big issues in science in 1972? A possible hole in the ozone and global warming (greenhouse effect), not to mention petrochemical/hydrocarbon pollution and desertification/deforestation and their contribution to these outcomes. Can you believe people are still arguing? Who's myopic say we collectively, looking through our coke bottle lenses. Too slow and indecisive may not be just a small-scale problem
lyrics
SHORT-SIGHTED
Years ago he studied holes in the ozone
Altogether the weather wasn't fine
Whoa they said, too early for predictions
We will find solutions in good time
Now we're running out of Amazon
Sahara just keeps rolling on
Later on he wandered in the third world
Saw himself the pain and misery
Borrow here and maketh in our image
All we fashion in our industry
Now they owe so much and nothing's changed
The army still holds both the reins
My-opic, my-my-my-my my-myopic, my-opic
There's none so blind who will not see
But I am them and they are me
The problem is we can't say we, only me
Then one day he ran into a woman
Just the perfect blend a mystery
He was too slow and indecisive
She was gone before he looked to see
Hesitated, missed his line
Now he wears glasses all the time
My-opic, my-my-my-my my-myopic, my-opic
There's none so blind who will not see
Blind as bats could ever be
Myopic, I'm hoping; myopic, eyes open
Myopic, I'm hoping; myopic, eyes open
Myopic, I'm hoping; myopic, eyes open
