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

Sirens sounding seriously
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

A song about climate change and extreme weather events.

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’)

A song about climate change and extreme weather events.

LYRICS
Once the river stops its flow
Then we know not long to go
Got the fish out of water woe
Could have, should have listened long ago
Thought I knew all there is to know
Can’t get away with a power play
At least not in this day and age
The last page
Exit stage

All the world’s a stage
The body is your cage

A song about human induced global warming.

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

A song about the climate crisis and the environmental crises that we should have seen coming. How do you intend to fight the extreme weather… sword… gun?

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
“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’

LYRICS
The wind is blowin’
Blowin’ in a storm
My mind is blown
Now it’s the norm
I mean not whether
Extreme weather
Reigning down on me
Forget meteorology
It’s plain to see
Extreme weather
Reigning down on me
[jam up a storm]

The sky is crying
’cause man’s denying
Responsibility
Raining down on me

The heavens sighing
’cause man’s dying
Forged destiny
For none to be

LYRICS
No, I’m not being lazy
Nor am I going crazy
Is your vision hazy?
In my vision
I’m on a mission
To go from fission
To fusion
Am I the only one
Think how happy we could be
As part of a nuclear family

No, I’m not being lazy
Nor am I going crazy
Is your vision hazy?
In my dream
We create a scene
Totally void of mean
(Know what I mean?)
Once we’ve all seen
The light of atomic energy
Can shine for eternity

LYRICS
Extreme whether?
Extreme weather!
Volatile all the while
Seekin’ shelter
Takin’ cover
Careful what you wish…
Might start raining frozen fish
Please don’t leave me standing all alone…
Bomb cyclone

Feel the genesis
Of bombogenesis
Adaptation of Revelation
Cyclical biblical
Of portion proportion
Seekin’ shelter
Takin’ cover
Careful what you wish…
Might start raining frozen fish
Please don’t leave me standing all alone…
Bomb cyclone

Could be the feaster of a Nor’ Easter
Jumbo shrimp? No need to skimp
Should be a whale of a wail tail/tale
When the mumbo bombo bomb cyclone hits home
If I had my druthers,
I’d rather mainly Maine lobsters*
(*tales hold the clause / tails hold the claws)
Floundering in flounder-ings
I’m up to my ass in sea bass
Careful what you wish…
Might start raining frozen fish
Please don’t leave me standing all alone…
