I remember a decade ago when I saw Leonard Cohen live in Oslo.

If you were there, you know.

Everybody knows Ethereum's dead

The Merge came through, it’s all been said

Everybody thought it’d change the game

But now it’s burning slow in shame

That’s how it goes

Everybody knows

Everybody knows the miners quit

Vitalik said, “This is it!”

Proof of Stake, the future’s bright

But the price in Bitcoin’s lost the fight

That’s how it goes

Everybody knows

Everybody knows “ultrasound money”

Was meant to make things bright and sunny

But those who focus on dollar price

Are clowns who pay a heavy price

That’s how it goes

Everybody knows

Everybody knows, it’s Bitcoin that counts

Ethereum’s sinking, no rebounds

Ethereans watch with disbelief

Bitcoin pumps brings deeper grief

That’s how it goes

Everybody knows

Everybody knows Vitalik’s plan

But things are slipping from his hand

The Merge was hyped, but now it’s clear

Ethereum’s demise is near

That’s how it goes

Everybody knows
