I think "I'm one big myomad that thinks my planet supports only be" rather shows how men see themselves as the most important living beings on this planet, either cause they think god created this world for us, or cause they think we are the top of evolution.

Also "I see my ancestors spend with careless abandon,
Assuming eternal supply." is more pointing at how our ancestors wasted so many natural ressources without even thinking about it, for eample during the industrial revolution.

I think this song is about how, as we (as human beings) progress through history, we slowly abandon Darwinism and evolution. We are becoming selfish greedy beings who's main goal in life seems to be either "get rich, or die trying" (which very few people actually achieve) or "live forever, or die trying," through medicine. This is expressed in the lines "I'm one big myomad that thinks my planet supports only be," and "I've got this one problem, will I live forever, I've got just a short time to see."

It's problem of everyone the destruction of the planet so for me the fundamentals of punk are that all of we can be happy in the short period of life and being tolerant with people that have differences, but if someone's actions perjurer me I will rebel against them, like the governmental systems that forbid the freedom of the average people that are not part of the monarchies and the luster of the society. So in this song Greg is talking about how material and superficial things can kill Gaea, and that our ancestors lived better than we do now, without concerns about the lack of oxygen or the increase of the heat or other problems that we live now in our reality. The solution of this problem is to end the capitalism system ruled by the big corporations that are interested just about the green paper.

I think the song 'Modern Man'' is describing man today. It describes our thoughts and actions that we do, but yet we don't notice that we do this. Also I think that the song tells us that we assume too much.

'Modern Man' refers to present-day humans and this song tells how man consumes nature and earth for all it's resources without thinking that maybe one day these resources will expire and we will be left with nothing. Thus, this will be our downfall and the cause of our extinction. This world contains natural ecosystems that are balanced but man destroys these, we give and do not return. We are then in comparison to most other animals and organisms in this world a 'pathetic example of earth's organic heritage,' for although we have 'superior intellect' over other organisms we cannot perform tasks that simple organisms perform in order to maintain a natural balance in our ecosystem.
