Posted on by admin

LYRICS
What’s that? “You better get back?”
’cause she’s going to get me back
I’m in overtime
… in overtime

Mother Nature’s wrath
Gonna take a bath
Paying for our crime
… in overtime

Harvey and Irma wave a wake
Shake and bake
Another earthquake
What will it take
Mother Nature’s wrath
Gonna take a bath
Paying for our crime
… in overtime

Don’t breathe. No relief.
Eat the dirt. Ozone alert.
Environmental mental thief
Hit the dirt. We’re going nuclear

Not sure of the future
Man vs. Nature

Mother Nature’s wrath
Gonna take a bath
Paying for our crime
… in overtime

LYRICS
The leaves are leaving
As the waves wave
Bye-bye
Ma Nature is grieving
She hates seeing suns die
Mother is screaming,
“Pick up your things!
What’s the matter with those human beings?
Give them an inch, they’ll take the yard
They refuse to yield… took the whole damn field
Come on, Man, life shouldn’t be this hard”

The leaves are leaving
As the waves wave
Bye-bye
Ma Nature is disbelieving
Shakes her head and wonders why?
Mother is screaming,
“Take out your trash!
What’s the matter with those human beings?
Anything they won’t smash?”
Disfigure land and sea temperature
Even error the air… errrah!

LYRICS
I overheard
It’s a record
Too much sun
Reigns on our fun
When it’s too hot
We can not
This record heat
Is beat
…2,3,4
How much more?

What we got
Is too hot
Getting difficult to endure
Any more temperature
Did you see the mercury
Going up in history
Going down! It’s misery
Absurd record
Invoke heatstroke
Add the absurdity of the humidity
Think you can sweat it?
Forget it!
Can’t compete with record heat
Na ugh-uh na uh-uh
No, can’t compete with the record heat
Na ugh-uh na uh-uh

LYRICS
Am I all alone?
Prone to ozone
Hold the phone…
I’m not alone
Don’t breathe
Grieve
Only way to relieve
don’t breathe!
Hold your breath
’till you turn blue
Hold your breath
It’s all you can do
Tropospheric
Sick, sick, sick
No singing songs
Damage the lungs
Damage prolongs
Swan song sung
In the “Ohh!” zone

ABOUT THE SONG
Q: Do you know what are two of the most dangerous exposures for children and the elderly?
A: Fresh air and sunshine

On days like today, do not go out and play. The sun can damage your skin and cause cancer.

Sunshine is also part of a deadly reaction.  When combined with heat and volatile gases, ultraviolet light causes a deadly reaction by creating  tropospheric ozone.

The dangerous ozone (O3) is created when vehicle (and other) exhaust is not completely combusted. Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in the exhaust react to temperature and sunlight creating tropospheric ozone (O3).

The ozone in the air can cause permanent damage to your respiratory and immune systems.

LYRICS
Sunshine pours over my body
Feel it as it flows
Breeze flows past my body
Which way the wind blows
(Any way the wind blows
Anyway the wind blows)
Fresh air pours into my body
Flows from nose to toes
Time passes past my body
Watch it as it goes
I appreciate the days
All the different ways
Life wonders amaze

Freedom runs through my spirit
Baptism’s water bears it
Revolution song soothes my soul
Music fills my ear… can you hear it?
Nature’s calling… can you hear her?
Wants to hold us dearer
Message couldn’t be clearer
Charity’s chariot draws nearer
I appreciate the days
All the different ways
Life wonders amaze

Saltwater over turf

Then, you’ll wish you never had
Think I need freshwater to drink

LYRICS
What’s the solution
To our institution
The human nation institution of pollution
What’s the solution?
Have we lost control of self-control
Say “it’s close enough for rock and roll”
Destination annihilation
Our species as others’ feces
Suck out our brains
And eat our remains
The toll of our goal

Do you understand
Give me back my land
Sing “I’m an earthling”
What havoc you bring
Now, won’t you be a darling
Alas,
Careful the door doesn’t hit you in the ass

Do you understand
Give me back my land
Sing “I’m an earthling”
Champion of the trashing/trashing
Now, won’t you please be a darling
Alas,
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass

Do you understand
Give me back my land
Sing “I’m an earthling”
Overbearing and demanding
Now, once you’re done your damning
Alas,
Careful the door doesn’t hit you in the ass

I ain’t screaming “extra, extra, extra…

Da, da, da
Forget about it

Fell victim

In your town

I use to think I knew which way was home
’till I got out there on my own
… started to explore n’ roam
Be at home

Now I’m at home wherever I’m at
Can you even imagine that
The whole world… you can hang your hat
Never alone
All at home

Maybe it’s time to clean our scene
Land, air and water’s turned obscene
Do you know what I mean?
Flesh and bone
Love our home
We’re at home
