LYRICS
Do you know if there’s a place I can go
To cure what ails me
It’s called “your destiny”
Perils of your destiny

You bet the farm
Doing no harm?
Lord, cure what ails me
It’s called “your destiny”

When it comes to the plant

You said, “Damn it! God damn it!”
“F” the habitat
What do you think of that
Live with it!

Live with it? I hope not to die…
… I….

Did you bring the Bayou with you?

Caught your swampy blues

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
She’ll put up a fight
Till we get things right
Put an end to blight
She puts up a fight
Papier-mâché parliament
Thinks there’s no harm in it
Leave it to government
Their/they’re too late to solve it
We’re all in need
Of the superhero in you
Hear the earth plead
You’ll find it in you

Fat cat politicians
Poor savior magicians
It’s their positions
Requiring morticians
We’re all in need
Of the superhero in you
Hear the earth plead
You’ll find it in you

She’ll put up a fight
Till we get things right
Put an end to blight
She puts up a fight
If we could all transfer more of her

LYRICS
Does it tickle your fancy
Get your panties in knots
Did they bribe you with candy
To forget the “have not’s”
Coming fact-to-face
With a fact’s a fact
Get back
One thing for sure
It’s human nature
To attack

Does it ruffle your feathers
Taking candy from babies
Do you think truth is whether
It depends on maybe’s
Coming fact-to-face
With a fact’s a fact
Get back
One thing for sure
It’s human nature
To attack

A song about The Human Induced Climate Change Experiment.

LYRICS
Overhead the fronts confront
Overheard North wind’s whisper
Mother Nature’s sister
A cold affront
Well, they don’t make winters
Like they use to

Going to mess the fall feeling
Since the temperature’s gone reeling
Overhead the fronts confront
Overheard North wind’s whisper
Mother Nature’s sister
A cold affront

LYRICS
Sirens sounding seriously
Dreams going up in smoke preposterously
If the alarm is alarming
Maybe it’s time to react
We know our harm is harming
That’s just a matter of fact

Sirens sounding seriously
Dreams going up in smoke preposterously
If the harm is alarming
Maybe it’s time to react
We know our harm is disarming
Nature’s under attack

Dreams going up in smoke preposterously
When the harm is disarming
Maybe it’s time to react
we know our farm is harming
Nature’s going to fight back

LYRICS
If most haven’t heard
Do you find it absurd?
I cry
Gone dry
Flooding in the basement
Flaming in the kitchen
Wondering what God’s grace meant
Moanin’ and bitchin’
(I cry moanin’ and bitchin’)

If most have not seen
Is it quite obscene?
I cry
Gone dry
Flooding in the basement
Flaming in the kitchen
Wondering what God’s grace meant
Moanin’ and bitchin’
(I cry moanin’ and bitchin’)

If most haven’t felt
The hand they’re dealt
I cry
Why die?
Flooding in the basement
Flaming in the kitchen
Wondering what God’s grace meant
Moanin’ and bitchin’
(I cry moanin’ and bitchin’)

LYRICS
Looking back
Should’ve looked forward
Wrongway slack
Oh, God! My Lord!
Better grab my sword
Attack!
My eyes see the crises
In the I of the storm
Dot the I’s in crisis
Cross your t’s… forewarned

In hindsight
Should’ve had foresight
Am I right?
Backed in a corner… fight!
Better grab my gun
And, run!
My eyes see the crises
In the I of the storm
Dot the I’s in crisis
Cross your t’s… forewarned
My eyes have seen the crises
In the I of the storm

LYRICS
The future temperature
Is sure to get hot
Better breathe what we’ve got

The future shoreline
Is coming on hard times
Why not save what we’ve got?

Going to get extreme
We got what we bought

The future brooks and streams
Won’t be running clean
Gotta drink what we’ve got

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
The green is growing more intense
The sky is more blue, too
The air is fresher… I can sense
Considering what’s best to do
How do we save the planet
From our inhabitance
Is it possible to plant it
With a little more reverence?

Have we caused the balance
To get out of whack
Have we in essence…
Given Earth a heart attack?
How do we save the planet
From our inheritance
Is it possible to plant it
With a little more reverence?

LYRICS
Drip, drip, drip, drip, drop
There’s a problem up top
Glaciers quickly melting
Dropping into the sea
Is the Earth revolting
Guess we’re going to see
… guess we’re going to sea

Splish, splash, slplish, splash, flash
In the fall of our autumn
There’s a problem with our bottom
Glaciers quickly melting
Dropping into the sea
Is the Earth revolting
Guess we’re going to see
… guess we’re going to sea

LYRICS
It’s time to go
I’ve come to know
It’s time to go
The glaciers will melt
From lack of snow
It’s the hand we dealt
Doesn’t it blow
(Woe)

It’s time to go
I’ve come to know
It’s time to go
The oceans will rise
From melting snow
Let’s realize
Humans cause flow
(Woe)

It’s time to go
I’ve come to know
It’s time to go
The mountains will sink
Dominoes in a row
God, what did we think?
Am I friend or foe?
(Woe)

LYRICS
What shall we do
The morning dew
Is due
To be through
Put to an End
A tragic send

What can we say
The midday sway
Gone away
I heard it said
“Put to bed”

What did we do
The nighttime view
Obscured blurred
A mar on far
To close to home
Soon left alone

LYRICS
Well, now that you went ahead and put it like that
I’ve to a better idea of where we’re at
I guess you could say
In a different way
The rest of our days
Are in play

The longer we keep on keeping on blowing smoke
The sooner we’re all likely to choke
I guess you could say
In a different way
The rest of our days
Are in play

The longer we keep on keeping on building up steam
Off the tracks faster we will deem
I guess you could say
In a different way
The rest of our days
Are in play

… the long and short of it:
We did what we did
That’s it
The long and short of it
Period

Now what will we do
To come to the rescue
Rescue you
Rescue me
To save us from our collective “we”
That’s the long and short of it
That’s it
The long and short of it
Period

Let us — soup to nuts
The whole ball of wax
As just the basic facts
That’s the long and short of it
That’s it
The long and short of it
