LYRICSWhile the herd is aimlessly grazing
\nWhat I’ve heard is hair-raising
\nAll the cows lay with a storm on the way
\nNo not me
\nSeek shelter out of harm’s way
\nGrab your lover
\nAnd run for cover
\nWeather war
\nIs dishing out more
\nFore sure
\nIt’s up to us
\nIf you’re prosperous<\/p>\n
We’ve been given the time
\nYet ended sublime
\nChose to self-anoint
\nThen, exploit
\nWhile the herd is aimlessly grazing
\nWhat I’ve heard is hair-raising
\nAll the cows lay with a storm on the way
\nNo not me
\nSeek shelter out of harm’s way
\nGrab your lover
\nAnd run for cover
\nWeather war
\nIs dishing out more
\nFore sure
\nIt’s up to us
\nIf we’re prosperous<\/p>\n
This song is about 2 social media posts I made the day the song was written and recorded:<\/p>\n
\nFor those people living in Southeastern PA, extreme weather warning for this afternoon. Please remember:
\nQ: Is there a limiting factor to the size of raindrops… that will prevent them from becoming lethal?
\nA: “A Hard Rain Is Falling<\/a>” and, yes, hail can kill you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\nI responded to a post about climate change being “frightening” and what we need to do. Most people want the government and\/or businesses to take responsibility. Here was my response:
\nIt is in everybody’s best interest to abandon fossil fuels immediately. The inevitable is already bad enough… if we continue on as usual, the severity and immediacy will increase exponentially. All need to take action… governments and businesses as organizations, and even more importantly — us… people. Everybody (at least in the USA) can go net-zero today and save money at the same time. Reaching “net zero” is easy, cheap, and saves you thousands of dollars, not to mention, you can help save the planet. Electricity and heat, food and land use, transportation, and investment. Here is what I’ve done to go carbon negative: Go Net Zero Now<\/a>.<\/p>\nWhen I say “The inevitable is already bad enough”… this is what we are talking about… your guaranteed future:
