Insulate

Insulate

We make clothes 

To insulate ourselves

From cold and wind

We build houses

To insulate ourselves 

From rain and snow 

We kill tigers and snakes 

To insulate ourselves 

From animal bite

We invent vaccines 

To insulate ourselves 

From the scorch of viruses  

We fortify fortresses 

To insulate ourselves 

From attack by other people 

We swim in the lifeguarded pools

To insulate ourselves 

From the unknowns and knowns of beaches and rivers 

We follow the norms of the society 

To insulate ourselves 

From social disgrace 

We buy insurances

To insulate ourselves 

From the vicissitude of life 

We organize unions 

To insulate ourselves 

From the bully of big bosses 

We create pension systems 

To insulate ourselves 

From the frailty of the old age 

We expand public sectors

To insulate ourselves 

From the up and down of the private economy 

We apply our ingenuity 

To insulate ourselves 

From all the pain and discomfort 

With our success

We insulate ourselves

From all the fear and excitement 

So we create drugs and video games

To insulate ourselves 

From total boredom
