LYRICS
Must get through
Right here! Right Now!
Somehow
It’s what we have to do
… get through
’cause it’s what we have to do
Me, you… we
HAVE TO!
And for the next while
Somehow
Have to get the message through
WE DO! (It’s overdue)
We’ll try to keep it simple
Won’t deviate from the principle
Right here, right now!
“AWAKE!
… our future’s at stake”

LYRICS
Is anyone listing
Any *one* anywhere
Over here
Over there
… in the wind… whistling
Is anyone listing?

Wouldn’t it be a travesty
If you dumped your tragedy
On me

Searching for a strategy
To save us from your tragedy
On we

Bridge the gap to reality
To serve from your destiny
Agony

Is anyone listing?
Is anyone?
Listening!

LYRICS
Gentlemen, start your engines
(Fossil fuel fool)
Unlock the dino’s from their dungeons
(Fossil fuel fool)

Dinosaurs take back the planet
As if we didn’t really plan it?
I’m a fossil fuel fool
(Chorus)

The “Damn Age” inflictin’ damage
Cry of privilege in an outrage
I’m a fossil fuel fool
(Chorus)

Sniffing their fumes while “The End” looms
Brain is dead before the corpse is bled
I’m a fossil fuel fool
(Chorus)

Rev the engine again and again
’til the smell of Jurassic makes you sick
I’m a fossil fuel fool
(Chorus)

LYRICS
On Island Earth
Was given birth
Now drip by drop
Sea’s rising up
’til Earth Island
Is out of land
(Going down… I am)
Humanity destined to be
Water logged
Bogged
Down
Drown
In our stupidity
Let ‘er rip
Drip, drip, drip
By drop
Rising up
See the sea
Saw the sea
Sea-saw
Cover over me
Is it to be?
Cover over me
Is it to be
Our destiny
Stupidity
By drip, drip, drip
… drop
The other shoe
Me and you
Getting ready to drop
Are we all just drips
Drip by drip
Drop
Rising up

LYRICS
Trying to enlist the capitalists
Ain’t that funny when it’s all about money
It’s kinda hard to play that card
When the art of the deal is how to steal
Hope you didn’t forget
The safety net
If their building’s tall
The farther the fall
In the next life
When they come back as worm
Probably learn
How it feels to squirm
Try to fill their greed
With what other people need
No chance they’ll concede
’cause they think they’re in the lead
things will take their natural course
When you exploit your natural resource
It’s obvious, yes, of course
Scenario can’t get worse

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
I’ve had my share of days
Under the sun
Seems only fair
That I leave some…
Leave some world behind

Thankful for this planet
To have my birth
Seems only right
That I leave some Earth
And, leave some world behind
Wouldn’t it be kind
To leave some world behind

When the meek inherit the Earth
Who goes hungry
And who’s quenched thirst
When first is last
And last is first
Who goes hungry
And who’s quenched thirst
Leave some world behind
Wouldn’t it be kind
To leave some world behind

LYRICS
There’s a reason lapse
Canopy collapse
Extinction
Realization
The invasive species
Known as human
Is doing the best he can
To bring it tumbling down
All around

Emitting pollution
Saying “F.U.” to solution
Extinction
Retribution

Giving it their best try
To make it all die
Extinction
Gratification

LYRICS
Lies!
Lie upon lie
Lies!
Lies and more lies
Pardon my total surprise
I did not realize
Lies, lies and more lies

Did you see there at it again
I don’t know even where to begin
Lies!
Lie upon lie
Lies!

Just take a look around
The ice is all in meltdown
Sea level rising at a rapid pace
Not sure we can win this race
Though you beg to differ
All you have to offer —
Lies!
Lie upon lie
Lies!
Lies and more lies
Pardon my total surprise
I did not realize
Lies, lies and more lies

Respiratory illness
Amongst the things killing us
Climate change anxiety
Caused by your insanity
And your lies!
Lie upon lie
Lies!
Lies and more lies
Pardon my total surprise
I did not realize
Lies, lies and more lies

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Catastrophe in the canopy
Nearly every tree falling down on me
A calliope tragedy

Everyday matter-of-fact lumber jack
Heed the crack, fear the whack, panic attack
The only think I lack… sharpened axe

Now to figure how to forge my plow
Into a share that all can share
Become aware
Of the sound of that falling tree

Though the forest is more dense than most
It still can boast to be the host
Of every falling tree

Understanding last man standing
Ultimately if that is me
Then, who will hear my falling tree?

Catastrophe in the canopy
Nearly every tree falling down on me
A calliope tragedy
Round and round our solar sound
Merry-go-round bound for found
Will I be the last tree
(Standing, standing, understanding standing)

LYRICS
“Hey there! Can you keep it down?”
Hey there
Take a look around
Hey there
Nothing’s found
Can’t keep the temperature down
Look around
Nothing’s found
To keep the temperature down
Can’t beat the heat

We love to spew
We do. We do
Skew the new
We do. We do
Pollute our habitat
Imagine that
That that’s where we’re at
Stupid primate changed the climate
Can’t keep the temperature down
Look around
Nothing’s found
To keep the temperature down
Can’t beat the heat
Going to have to admit defeat

LYRICS
Did I create the landscape
From which I can’t escape
Now to feed
On tumbleweed
And for dessert desert
(… and then desert
For dessert)

Is the solution to the pollution
At the source?
… ahhh of course
Coarse
Rubbing me the wrong way
Hey!
Coarse
Gotta live abrasive
Now I lust
For a mouth free of dust

LYRICS
The complication
Of the situation
Seeks solution
Perhaps restitution
Into the darkness delves
Save us from ourselves
Misunderstood
Earthling neighborhood
Could, would, should

Rearrange with our climate change
Deranged more than a little strange

Suffice to say divisive
Sacrifice the will to live

LYRICS
Come it hell
Because, well
In high water
What’s the matter
If you’re nailed down
You’re going to drown

Wading in… into the flood
Covered by… covered by mud
Better run around
Hatches battened down

When the water’s on the rise
Puts perspective on your size
Soaking in it… up to my eyes

Seems like all will dishevel
Now that we’re past flood level
Come high water
Come it hell

LYRICS
’cause when I try
To see the sky
It’s so hot
I see why not
If I don’t die
I’ll surely fry
And If I try
To tear and cry
It’s so hot
I see why not
If I try n’ cry
The ducts run dry
Wade into shade
The heat won’t fade
It’s so hot
I see why not
Inside the oven
There’s no escapin’
Like six of one
Or half a dozen
It’s all the same
When the heat’s insance
Sizzlin’ I am
Sizzlin’
I’m sizzlin’
