LYRICS
Limited knowledge
Never went to college
Doesn’t know true
I tried to tell you
Watching the sunset come into view
Wild how the wildfires inspire
Skies that hypnotize
Just don’t choke
On the smoke
I tried to warn you
Watching the sunset come into view
Trying to figure out what to do
Wild how the wildfires inspire
Skies that hypnotize
Just don’t choke
On the smoke
Took vacation
Missed education
Dimwitted, too
I tried to warn you
Watching the sunset come into view
Trying to figure out what to do
Wild how the wildfires inspire
Skies that hypnotize
Just don’t choke
On the smoke
Out to lunch
Drank too much punch
Never comes through
(Human race, you’re drunk.
Can’t think, thank, nor thunk)
I tried to tell you
I tried to warn you
Watching the sunset come into view
Trying to figure out what to do
Wild how the wildfires inspire
Skies that hypnotize
Just don’t choke
On the smoke

A song about people taking pictures of the sunset through the smoke of the Canadian wildfires. “Smoke particles also scatter light, and because they are larger than air molecules, they also scatter the orange and red colors. That results in far more red and orange in the sky than we are used to seeing during the daytime, imparting a surreal hue,” as reported in the New York Times. Is it ironic that people take pictures of pollution and comment on how beautiful it is?
