Ship of Foolsby World Party

In this song, World Party's Karl Wallinger was particularly concerned with the environmental consequences of plundering the earth of its precious resources. He predicts, "Avarice and greed are gonna drive you over the endless sea." When asked about the prophetic tune in 2012, he said, "I wasn't trying to be ahead of the curve, I was just writing about things that seemed obvious at the time. We still haven't done anything about it. I can't get my head around the stupidity of materialism."
