What is Going On?

I think life is tremendously tenacious
And has an immense capacity to
Organize it'self to meet
Any crisis provided it knows it's coming
There are scars on this planet
Enormous scars
There's a scar a billion and a
Half years old on the Canadian
Shield that is twice the size
Of the lunar crater Copernicus

Now, what is going on? What is going on?
What is going on? What IS going on?
Now, what is going on? What is going on?
What is going on? What IS going on?

This thing that came down 50, 000
Years ago out near Flagstaff, arizona
That was [Am7]a tiny object
It was [Am7]something like [F]30 meters across
It was [Am7]moving nine times the
Speed of a ɾifle bullet
It was [Am7]six miles into [C7]the earth
In the first second of impact
Everything within 800 miles died instantly
And this was [Am7]a nothing burger, this thing
An object 500 meters across, the planet would
Ring like [F]a gong [Am]for [Dm7]10, 000 years
The thing which killed the dinosaurs
They now believe they have the impact point
At the time of the impact
The entire area was [Am7]a shallow ocean
But what I find eerie about the
Location [C7]of this impact point is
65 million [C7]years afterwards on
This exact spot
A civilization [C7]will arise obsessed with
The end of time
(A civilization [C7]will arise obsessed with
The end of time)
And determined to [C7]give a date to [C7]it
It's within 110 miles of Chichen
Itza, it's near Dzibilchaltún
It's ɾight in the heart
Of classic Maya countɾy

What is going on? What is going on?
What is going on? What IS going on?
What, what is going on? What is going on?
What, what is going on? What IS going on?
