Big oil has deep pockets Spreading money like its seed Politicians peck for dollars guided by a creed of greed They funnel cash to churches tell the preachers what to say there's nothing they can't purchase including how we all should pray Ignore your burning skin and the bleached out coral reefs forget about the science and just stick to your beliefs [Chorus] They say “Hey, it’s all a hoax!” “None of this is real” and “God will keep us safe just let Jesus take the wheel” “The science is a joke!” “it doesn't matter what you feel” Your Self-reliance gets revoked by their fervor and their zeal As the ticking time elapses to the point of no return when the cryosphere collapses and the wild fires burn with sub-arctic soil thawing releasing tons of methane gas the danger of ignoring becomes a deepening morass When the house of cards collapses and we hurtle towards the brink when there's no more "but perhapses" and our hearts begin to sink [Chorus] They say “Hey, it’s all a hoax!” “None of this is real” and “God will keep us safe just let Jesus take the wheel” “The science is a joke!” “it doesn't matter what you feel” Your Self-reliance gets revoked by their fervor and their zeal Once we pass the tipping point a cascading will occur and we'll struggle to anoint a climate savior connoisseur But a self-sustaining shift will be largely underway and we'll remain adrift forever and a day They say “Hey, it’s all a hoax!” “None of this is real” and “God will keep us safe just let Jesus take the wheel” “The science is a joke!” “it doesn't matter what you feel” Your Self-reliance gets revoked by their fervor and their zeal
