akira the don – so much worse كلمات اغاني

it does seem to me that anyone
who lives in the west
in the western culture
this time in history
and in this place
and who isn’t simultaneously grateful for that
is half blind
at least
because

[chorus]
it’s never been better than this
and it could be so much worse
it’s never been better than this
and it could be so much worse
it’s never been better than this
and it could be so much worse
so much worse
so much worse

there was a paper published in “nature”
not so long ago
stating, for еxample
that an area twice thе size
of the us has greened in the last 15 years
there’s more forests in the northern hemisphere
than there were 100 years ago
and more forests in india and china
than there were 30 years ago
and this has gone along with a
massively improved standard of living
the child mortality rate in africa
is now the same as it was in europe in 1952
which is a statistic
that i just regard as
absolutely miraculous
the rate of poverty is diminishing
at an amazing rate, right
between 2000 and 2012
we have poverty
[chorus]
it’s never been better than this
and it could be so much worse
it’s never been better than this
and it could be so much worse
it’s never been better than this
and it could be so much worse
so much worse
so much worse

it’s pretty hard on the marxists
i would say
even though there is inequality
and inequality is a problem
first of all it doesn’t look like inequality
can be placed at the feet of capitalism
it seems to me to be a far more
intractable problem than that
second, it’s clear that the poor are getting richer
despite the fact of inequality
and third, and this is hard
on the environmentalists, i think, is that
it turns out
that if you get people’s income up
to about $5,000 a year in terms of gross domestic product
they actually start to care about the environment
which i suppose is because they’re not worried
about dying instantly that day or that week
and so, we seem to be in this perverse situation
for a pessimist where
we can make people wealthy
and we could make the world a better place simultaneously
[chorus]
it’s never been better than this
and it could be so much worse
it’s never been better than this
and it could be so much worse
it’s never been better than this
and it could be so much worse
so much worse
so much worse

and it’s highly likely that it will be so much worse
because for most of human history
so much worse is the norm
