End-of-the-World Survival Blues |
End-of-the-world Survival Blues I got them The end-of-the-world End times coming Climate change is real Blues. Every day More bad news As Frank Zappa once wrote “No one can deny That trouble coming every day.” I got them The end-of-the-world Blues. Turning on the news Nonstop stories 24/7 About killer storms Monster tornados Super typhoons Monsoon floods. Wars, rumors of war COVID running out of control False prophets everywhere Economies still reeling Inflation out of control Derange gunmen Shooting up schools Churches, mosques, temples Shopping malls Insurrection plots Political madness Spreading across the world. Neo-fascism is on the move. Oh yeah I got them End times coming Blues. We all used to think Climate change Is a future threat. Now it seems To be real Live and in living color. No longer just A disaster movie I got them The climate change blues And now it seems real Seeing whole towns disappearing In fires, floods, and storm damages. And near me Roads closed Apartments flooded Subway shut down. Apartment garage flooded People drowned in their cars Trying to escape. Thousand-year storms Coming every day To a town near you No one can escape It seems so real Is this the end? Is our very survival At stake? Or will we somehow Manage in the end To solve our problems? Will our descendants Be living In a post-apocalyptic world, Looking back at the ruins Of the old world In their underground bunkers Or on the Moon and Mars? Oh, I got them The survival blues.
