[ intro, spoken word] It's not a hoax, it's not a con job Greenhouse gasses, Acid rain This shit is real [Verse 1] I've seen sweltering summer August dog days And the bitter chill of February's wintery ways, I've seen the floral results of April's showers And October's colorful burst of foliage powers I've been around for a lot of years My eyes wide open, I've got my fears [Verse 2] There are some who say the climate isn't changing I say, those folks have their heads buried in the sand Too blind to see what mankind is doing to this land Intense rainfall, frequent storms Temperatures rising well above the norms [Pre chorus] Burning fossil fuels like gas, coal and oil Poisoning the air, the seas, and the soil [Chorus] Climate change, Global warming Let's take heed of nature's warning Glaciers melting, sea levels rise This should come as no surprise [Verse 3] Extreme weather events Hurricanes and tornadoes flood, famine and drought If we open our eyes, Can there really be any doubt? [Pre chorus] Burning fossil fuels like gas, coal and oil Poisoning the air, the seas, and the soil [Chorus] Climate change, Global warming Let's take heed of nature's warning Glaciers melting, sea levels rise This should come as no surprise [Bridge] Changing habits will be expensive It won't be easy, it won't be quick Fat cat politicians and big oil executives Rolling in dough, uncaring and insensitive Ignoring the facts, Despite overwhelming scientific consensus [Verse 4 sad, reflective] There's a hole in the ozone over Antarctica But it's getting smaller So There is hope, it's not too late We need to change, or seal our fate Mother Earth has the power to heal But she needs our help Not backing out of global climate deals [Outro, spoken word, gritty] It's not a hoax, it's not a con job Greenhouse gasses, Acid rain This shit is real [Fade out] [End]
