To our descendants after the fall
To our descendants after the thaw
To our descendants after the rise
There’s something I want you to memorialize
More of us than ever before
Live better than the kings of old, in the lap of luxury untold
Our personal palaces low on intrigue / Relatively assassin-free
More options than we need or want / Maybe we’re sorry, probably not

So sculpt a statue of a phone
Sculpt a statue of a drone
Sculpt a statue of an app
No, I don’t know how to do that

You’ve already paid for what we reaped
I’m no good at apologizing
But I am good at saying thanks
So thanks for the bounty you won’t taste
It tasted pretty sweet
Though I wasn’t paying attention
I was reading the next tweet
