LYRICS
Looks like the rule of the sun is done
After all, it’s turning into fall
There’ll be more darkness than light
Looks like the day is ruled by the night

It won’t be long now ’till the Harvest Fest
On the raised praise may we digest

Dear you hear them warn of a winter storm
Said to feature a severe Nor’easter
I’d hat for us to miss this Christmas
Not to get remiss until Easter
The presence of your presence the present
It’s all that need be sent

Did you hear them warn of a global warn
Growing faster — extreme weather disaster

It won’t be long now. All to the Harvest Festival
On the raised praise. Celestial.

LYRICS
Look what you’ve done to me
Walking all over my back
Look what you’ve done to me
Spit in my face and a whack

I’ve been here a long, long time
Before any “me, mine or I’m”
Likely I will reside
After your self-genocide

The rise of the human demise
‘less you realize this ain’t no surprise

Look what you’ve done to me
Create pollution as you please
Look what you’ve done to me
Spread disease as you please

Mother Earth will prevail
Even if you insist to fail

What beats the largest beasts not eating us
Dreadnoughtus
Dread not us

Perhaps we might be a salt lick
But no need to think quick
’cause to hi ribs we won’t ever, never stick

No need for fear
Rendezvous with herbivores
’cause we won’t be their hors d’oeuvre

No need to be nervous they’ll find us delicious
(oh what a delectable ‘lil morsel)
I can’t even think why you’d be extinct
Ya’ll re-arranging climate change?

When the well runs dry
No matter your try

When it’s hell on land

Though the sea level rise
Will rise the tide
It’s not potable for you

For desalinization
And pollution that turns you blue
With diseases… more than a few

LYRICS
The scene I’m seeing — extreme
Obscene… we’d let it get to this point
Whose regret… the point of no return

Polar vortex hex on the East
Brave the heat wave on the West
At least…
Someone suggest, “Try our best!”

From what I’ve seen — extreme
I mean… talk about a butt joint
Someone shout, “Before the edge, turn!”

ABOUT THIS SONG
This song is about extreme weather events and human induced climate change. The day it was written and recorded the East and West coasts of the USA where acting bi-polar. The East was getting hammered with a snowstorm and polar vortex… while the West was on fire in a heat wave.

We let the land of plenty rot

Worse than pigs, for sure

LYRICS
Funny how one thing leads to another
Before you know it… it’s a chain reaction
Honey draws the flies more than vinegar
Suppose the choice lies in your selection

Chorus
Do you wonder how the other half lives
You might be surprised how much they give
Do you wonder, “What is my purpose?”
Is it more tan to be you, 2, 3, 4… for all of us

Sunny one minute cloudy the next
Before you know it… it’s a climate action
Money draws the lies out of context
Impose their will as some sort-of fiction

Chorus

Bunny goes from hunted to hunter
Who’s gonna die… who’s gonna live
The problem is not that perplexed
We will cause our own extinction

Eighty-one degrees
When you’re sitting under the trees
Not even a hint of a cool, cool breeze

Thawing the perma-freeze
Deforestation, our own worst enemy
The human blight on serenity

How long will we go on
Until we stop, stop, stop?
How long will go on
Until we drop, drop, drop?

ABOUT THE SONG
Chords — Capo 3

This song is about global warming and a hot, humid day in early May. When my kids were very young, we considered buying a vacation house in Florida. I warned them that climate change would turn Pennsylvania into a Florida house by the time they had grandchildren. I was wrong. Today, Pennsylvania is turning tropical in May.

Waist deep in Spring

Permanent as benevolence
Stalemate forever enduring
Arrogant as irreverence

This song is about the lack of Spring caused by global warming. All the pink cherry blossoms have fallen off the trees and are about “waste deep”.

While I was writing this song, local artist John Hannafin stopped. He had painted a picture of the blossoming trees and wanted to know if he could paint me in.
