Get ready to run
’cause you know
Next up…
Zero
Blast off
Post scoff
Falling domino
Rolling snowball
Societal fall
Time to go
Try to calculate the rate
Of acceleration
Take the bait
And contemplate
Civilization

1, 2, 3
Start your engines

Than one imagines
Blast off
Post scoff
Falling domino
Rolling snowball
Societal fall
Time to go
Try to calculate the rate
Of acceleration
Take the bait
And contemplate

Sooooo…

Of acceleration
Take the bait
And contemplate

Human induced climate change is an exponential component of an unordered system (chaos theory). That means global warming is accelerating at a rapid rate in a complex way. Tipping points and feedback loops are parts of an equation that determine the rate of acceleration in climate change.

LYRICS
Where should I start…
It’s tearing me apart
So from the heart
Going to do my part
Begin
To put it back together
Again
See if we
Can rescue Humpty
Dumb… what dignity?
Come… see what I see

Human race race
To clean-up our place
So from the heart
Going to do my part
Begin
To put it back together
Again
See if we
Can rescue Humpty
Dumb… what dignity?
Come… see what I see

Ways way less cruel
No fossil fuel fools
So from the heart
Going to do my part
Begin
To put it back together
Again
See if we
Can rescue Humpty
Dumb… what dignity?
Come… see what I see

What you can do today. How to save the planet.

LYRICS
Ebb and flowing
Without knowing
Said we’re going
Rushing out
A bout of about
We don’t know
So we cry and pout
Forego go
What’s that on the road…
A head?
One of the signs
I dread

Oscillating
To and fro
While we’re waiting
To find out
A bout of about
We don’t know
So we cry and pout
Forego go
What’s that on the road…
A head?
One of the signs
I dread

Back and forth
On the fence
What’s the worth
Shout some sense
A bout of about
We don’t know
So we cry and pout
Forego go
What’s that on the road…
A head?
One of the signs
I dread

LYRICS
On our extreme theme
The lights went out
Can’t miss us shout
Hey! What have you to say
Say! What ever you may
Today
Is the day
Payday
Say hey

Extreme broken dream
Our sight
went out
Left us to shout
Hey! What have you to say
Say! What ever you may
Today
Is the day
Payday
Say hey

Serene broken scene
Once right, now doubt
We cry and shout
Hey! What have you to say

LYRICS
Are you living in a bubble
Living life is too much trouble?
Well you better get ready to pop
Waiting for the other shoe to drop
Hate to burst your bubble
But we’re destined for rubble
With our facade of charade
In a parade of la-te-da

Are you living in a glass house
Throwing rocks what you espouse?
Well you better get ready to pop
Waiting for the other shoe to drop
Hate to burst your bubble
But we’re destined for rubble
With our facade of charade
In a parade of la-te-da

Are you living for giving
Giving all the love you’ve got
If not why not start
Participating from the inside with heart
or
Are you living in a bubble
Living life is too much trouble?
Well you better get ready to pop
Waiting for the other shoe to drop
Hate to burst your bubble
But we’re destined for rubble
With our facade of charade
In a parade of la-te-da

What you can do today. How to save the planet.

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Are you sowing wisdom’s seeds
Be bestowing random deeds
Free the way for some freedom
Lead the way through the undone
Gotta undo what we did
Who we tryin’ to kid?

Are you “so”-ing random pleads
Are you showing wisdom leads
Free the way for some freedom
Lead the way through the undone
Gotta undo what we did
Who we tryin’ to kid?
confess to our mess and redress
Refute the dispute
To refuse our refuse

Are you growing? Wisdom feeds
Be bestowing golden deeds
Free the way for some freedom
Lead the way through the undone
Gotta undo what we did
Who we tryin’ to kid?
confess to our mess and redress
Refute the dispute
To refuse our refuse
Time to claim our shame
And tame our appetite
Can’t you see
We’re barking up the wrong tree
Time to claim our shame
And tame our appetite
… we just might
See the light

But come to makin’ waste

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Minimum damage
Or maximum pain
“I Need Some” — Damn Age
Think you’re insane
In the eye of the storm
Everything’s calm
Feel the norm
Forget the bomb?

The other eye of the hurricane
Still remains
Shame the human brain
Can’t refrain
In the eye of the storm
Everything’s calm
Feel the norm
Forget the bomb?

As the eye moves on from I
I soon realize
That wind and rain bring on pain
Should come as no surprise
Left the eye of the storm
All has gone wrong
Deal with a new norm
Cry your same old song

A song about the speed of climate change and the illusion of “calm” when you are in the eye-of-a-hurricane. Tipping points and feedback loops are parts of an equation that determine the rate of acceleration in climate change. Just like coming out of the eye back into the hurricane, the rapid rise in global warming should come as no surprise. A hurricane is a chaotic system, as is climate change. Human induced climate change is an exponential component of an unordered system (chaos theory). That means global warming is accelerating at a rapid rate in a complex way.

LYRICS
Would you say we didn’t save
For a rainy day?
Spent our wad
Blew our load
In a crazy way
Proud and loud
Under a cloud
Dark n’ nimbocumulus
Hanging over us

By the way
Would you say
It’s a rainy day?
Wish our wad
Could pay the way
To save the day
Proud and loud
Under a cloud
Dark n’ nimbocumulus
Hanging over us

When we reign all the more poor
That’s for sure
No doubt
In a drought
Of getting out
Proud and loud
Under a cloud
Dark n’ nimbocumulus
Hanging over us

LYRICS
I’d say, mister, it’s a hell of a mess
Barely knew her
You gave her a kiss
Took off her dress
Stole her family jewels
Cruel
No redress
Not at any rate
Won’t set it straight
Wait…
Oh, well
Hate to tell
Too late, late, late
Already out of sight
Too, too late
Not at any rate
Hate went to waste?
Too, too late
Can’t set it right
But try with all your might
At any rate
Too late, late, late
Already out of sight

My, oh, my
Do you ask the sky
Why do I bother to try?
My, oh, my
As you wonder why
Does the day pass you by?
Ask the sky above
To shine the light on love

To shine the light on love
Align my sight on love

By and by
Look to the sky
Try n’ find the answer to why
By and by
Ponder do or die
And put forth our best try
Ask the sky above
To shine the light on love

Ask the sky above
To shine the light on love
Take to new heights
Rising insights
Era of white knights
Hidden delights
To shine the light on love
Align my sight on love
To shine the light on love
Align my sight on love

LYRICS
Jumping up
Bound to come down
Tipping cup
Spilling around
Can’t get blood from a stone
Can’t live on bread alone
Amazing we can survive
Staying alive

Heating up
Won’t come down
Tipping cup
Spoiling around
Can’t get blood from a stone
Can’t live on bread alone
Amazing we can survive
Staying alive

Coming up
A let down
Tipping cup
Foiling our round
Can’t get blood from a stone
Can’t live on bread alone
Amazing we can survive
Staying alive

Tipping points and feedback loops are parts of an equation that determine the rate of acceleration in climate change.

What Are Tipping Points?

Push a glass toward the edge of table and eventually it will fall off on its own. No matter how slowly or meticulously you push… no matter how you weight or fill the glass, it will reach a tipping point and fall off before being pushed completely off the table.

No matter whether you believe the glass is half-empty or half full, when the tipping point is reached it will plummet out-of-control to its end. This is science not fate, faith, nor belief.

Human induced climate change has resulted in environmental tipping points being breached.

LYRICS
I’m thinking of something
But I can’t think of what it is
It’ll amount to nothing
“Goodbye. Blow me a kiss.”

The tip of my tongue
Has come undone
Broke my lip
On a Freudian slip
Slip, trip, flip
My mouth said
Slip, trip, flip
On it’s head
Till the heart led

The tip of my tongue
Has come undone
Broke my lip
On a Freudian slip
Slip, trip, flip
The answer my friend
Has to do with where we’ve been
The answer my friend
Is in The End

No longer in the future

Blame it one the aristocrat
Extract the habitat

Mass till we can’t function

Can you think beyond your carbon sink?

No longer in the future
