Commentary

Comments from the “Natural Selection” liner notes (by Mark Seymour):

Right in the middle of another great war, there is an earthquake under Hollywood. It couldn’t come at worse time for the film industry. California begins to fall into the sea. Airborne camera men take breathtaking footage of multi-million dollar homes burning in the hills. There is nothing but bad news for the good people at home in their lounge rooms on the other side of the world. Glaciers melt and the sea level begins to rise. Real estate values on the Mornington Peninsula are no longer worth sneezing at. Flights to New Zealand are booked out weeks in advance.

Lyrics

From far across the ocean you can hear the sound of thunder
I listen closely but I hear to evil
Just the sounds of cities crashing as they fall into the ocean
No need to worry, it’s just time and motion

It’s nothing at all, nothing I can’t handle
Oh but I, I hear no evil

Everything I trust I hang onto for a while
By my trembling hand as I turn the world to silence
Everything changes… all resistance is crushed
As I ride the infidel… grind his face into the dust

It’s nothing at all, nothing I can’t handle
Oh but I, I hear no evil
Oh but I, I hear no evil

No need to worry, there’s no information
Give me total control, and I’ll give you salvation
Everyone’s an expert so let nature take it’s course
And when I get to heaven, trace the poison to it’s source
Every hero is helpless, only history’s keeping score
But I keep my passion burning, watch the infidel withdraw

Oh, it’s nothing at all, nothing I can’t handle
Oh but I, I hear no evil
Oh but I, I hear no evil

I hear no evil

Nothing’s wrong… I can’t count the cost
My head is fine but my sensations are lost

I hear
I hear no evil
