The Human Induced Climate Change Experiment

Greta Thunberg "You are failing us. But the young people are starting to understand your betrayal. The eyes of all future generations are upon you. And if you choose to fail us I say we will never forgive you. We will not let you get away with this. Right here, right now is where we draw the line. The world is waking up. And change is coming, whether you like it or not." #howdareyou #climatestrike full speech here https://youtu.be/v33ro5lGHQg -- Greta Thunberg to the UN, September 23, 2019

LYRICS
A young lass from Sweden
Says, wake up! You've poisoned the garden
And the eyes of the children are watching now
Some little girl from Sweden
Says, wake up! You've pissed in the garden
And the eyes of the children are watching now
Somehow
We've got to shake them awake

The climate change anxiety
You've "thrown out" upon me
... shouldn't be
And the eyes of the children are watching now
Somehow
We've got to shake them awake

The solution to your pollution
Is in your institution
It's not just me
Responsibility to society
Really
And the eyes of the children are watching now
Somehow
We've got to shake them awake

You're ringing the alarm bell of hell
And the eyes of the children are watching now
Killin' kids and babies... ain't no maybe's
And the eyes of the children are watching now
Somehow
We've got to shake them awake

"The eyes of all future generations are upon you."
So, what are you going to do?!?!
Chords: E / A G E / E G A



Ostrich
LYRICS
Ostrich! Don't have to be super rich
Ostrich! Or redneck son-of-a-bitch
Ooops there goes another evil head
Bury like dead... pretend never said
Doing his best to avoid the truth
By being inane and staying aloof

Ostrich! Off the road in a ditch
Ostrich! Your trailer's unhitched
Speak no evil. Hear no evil. See no evil.
Is a sure sign of the devil
Doing his best to avoid the truth
By being inane and staying aloof

Ostrich! Yeah, your brain's gotta itch
Ostrich! The ignorance niche
Ooops there goes another evil head
Bury like dead... pretend never said
Doing his best to avoid the truth
By being inane and staying aloof
Chords: F#m13 F# / A E B / D C#7 F#



Days
LYRICS
Thought about your age?
In the final stage
Outrage is all the rage
The coffin will be your cage
What will your legacy be
What will be your legacy
For again and again and again
Inherited by children

Watching now and then
Turn mostly to then
Time to hedge your when
All that you may be maybe has been
What will your legacy be
What will be your legacy
For again and again and again
Inherited by children

Spent all your time
Thinking I'm all mine
And now there's no wealth
In yourself
What will your legacy be
What will be your legacy
For again and again and again
Inherited by children

Squandered days in so many ways
The crime of eternity never pays
As the feeble mind strays
Dumbfounded in a daze
Days
Chords: C Em Am / E Am; 78 to 93 to 103 BPM



Lies!
LYRICS
Lies!
Lie upon lie
Lies!
Lies and more lies
Pardon my total surprise
I did not realize
Lies, lies and more lies

Did you see there at it again
I don't know even where to begin
Lies!
Lie upon lie
Lies!

Just take a look around
The ice is all in meltdown
Sea level rising at a rapid pace
Not sure we can win this race
Though you beg to differ
All you have to offer --
Lies!
Lie upon lie
Lies!
Lies and more lies
Pardon my total surprise
I did not realize
Lies, lies and more lies

Respiratory illness
Amongst the things killing us
Climate change anxiety
Caused by your insanity
And your lies!
Lie upon lie
Lies!
Lies and more lies
Pardon my total surprise
I did not realize
Lies, lies and more lies
Chords: E A D G E / E B A E



Can't See the Trees Through the Forest
LYRICS
There's a reason lapse
Canopy collapse
Extinction
Realization
The invasive species
Known as human
Is doing the best he can
To bring it tumbling down
All around

Emitting pollution
Saying "F.U." to solution
Extinction
Retribution

Giving it their best try
To make it all die
Extinction
Gratification
Chords: Em F G Em / G Em / C D Em
About Deforestation

Leave Some?
LYRICS
I've had my share of days
Under the sun
Seems only fair
That I leave some...
Leave some world behind

Thankful for this planet
To have my birth
Seems only right
That I leave some Earth
And, leave some world behind
Wouldn't it be kind
To leave some world behind

When the meek inherit the Earth
Who goes hungry
And who's quenched thirst
When first is last
And last is first
Who goes hungry
And who's quenched thirst
Leave some world behind
Wouldn't it be kind
To leave some world behind
Chords: G A / B G A



My Hero
LYRICS
Go, Greta! Go, Greta!
Love watching you save the world
Oh, Greta. Oh, Greta.
Hope you get to see it growin' old
Go, Greta! A real go-getter
Go, Greta! Save the world!

Save your prayer
For the naysayer
Obsessive friction
Turning fact to fiction
(Chorus)

Hard to tell
Denier from liar
Turn it higher
'til your pants on fire
(Chorus)

Economic
Fairy tales
Makes us sick
When you system fails
(Chorus)
Chords: Dm G / G Bm C / C G; 137 BPM Rock Shuffle



As Worm
LYRICS
Trying to enlist the capitalists
Ain't that funny when it's all about money
It's kinda hard to play that card
When the art of the deal is how to steal
Hope you didn't forget
The safety net
If their building's tall
The farther the fall
In the next life
When they come back as worm
Probably learn
How it feels to squirm
Try to fill their greed
With what other people need
No chance they'll concede
'cause they think they're in the lead
things will take their natural course
When you exploit your natural resource
It's obvious, yes, of course
Scenario can't get worse
Chords: Bb Eb F / C F / Bb F C7



Mizaru, Kikazaru, and Iwazaru
LYRICS
I see you have 2 eyes
I see you have 2 ears
But can you see
Can you hear?
Among the things that be
Throwing troubles unto me

How can you be so unkind
Pretending that you're blind
With what little heart you've left
Why pretend you're deaf?
Among the things that be
Throwing troubles unto me

I see you have a brain
I see you have a mouth
But is your brain inane
Giving up life for wealth
Among the things that be
Throwing troubles unto me

How can you be so numb
Pretending that you're dumb
Why render all life moot
Pretending that you're mute
Among the things that be
Throwing troubles unto me
Chords: A Asus4 A A9 A / C E A / C D A



The Climates They Are a Changing
LYRICS
It use to be back in the day
The birds would fly away
Fly South for a winter's stay
Now North is warm was South
There's no need to fly away
Hesitate migrate and stay
The climates they are a changing
Man's Earth we are re-arranging

It use to be back in the day
We would ski the day away
Slide down the mountain side
Love to sport hat and gloves
Go remote with scarf and coat
Now, I hardly know where'd the snow go?
The climates they are a changing
Man's Earth we are re-arranging
Chords: F Eb / G C F



Extreme
LYRICS
Something wrong
Another cyclone bomb
Whether so extreme
Do you know what I mean?
What can be done
To undo what we've done?

Record heat
Who'd of thought you can beat
Whether so extreme
Do you know what I mean?
What can be done
To undo what we've done?

Nevertheless
Another polar express
Whether so extreme
Do you know what I mean?
What can be done
To undo what we've done?

Going insane
Another hurricane
Whether so extreme
Do you know what I mean?
What can be done
To undo what we've done?

No doubt a drought
Now rain won't drain
Whether so extreme
Do you know what I mean?
What can be done
To undo what we've done?
Chords: E A C D / G C D



Dangerous Rhymes
LYRICS
Dangerous rhymes
Dangerous times
Dangerous crimes
Against humanity
Against our dignity
Does anybody see?

Dangerous rhymes
Dangerous times
Dangerous crimes
Against our youth
In the name of wealth
Blatant or stealth?

Dangerous rhymes
Dangerous times
Dangerous crimes
Is ignorance
What gives them bliss
Or hearts amiss

Dangerous rhymes
Dangerous times
Dangerous crimes
I hear them say
Some other day
We're going to pay
Some other day
Dangerous rhymes
... about...
Dangerous times
... filled with...
Dangerous crimes
Chords: Am7 A E7#9 / Em G D A A7



Our House Is On Fire
LYRICS
Hey! Our house is on fire
Won't you fan the flames higher
Pour on the gasoline

Hey! Our scene was too serene
If you know what I mean
Aren't the dancing flames dazzling

Imagine that our habitat
Is too hot to handle
You know Dante's Inferno
Couldn't hold a candle
Learn to burn, Baby, burn
Chords: F# B C# / B F# C# F#; 167 BPM Fusion Shuffle



Island Earth
LYRICS
On Island Earth
Was given birth
Now drip by drop
Sea's rising up
'til Earth Island
Is out of land
(Going down... I am)
Humanity destined to be
Water logged
Bogged
Down
Drown
In our stupidity
Let 'er rip
Drip, drip, drip
By drop
Rising up
See the sea
Saw the sea
Sea-saw
Cover over me
Is it to be?
Cover over me
Is it to be
Our destiny
Stupidity
By drip, drip, drip
... drop
The other shoe
Me and you
Getting ready to drop
Are we all just drips
Drip by drip
Drop
Rising up
Chords: C# D# A# C#; 140 ritenuto BPM Techno



Fossil Fuel Fool
LYRICS
Gentlemen, start your engines
(Fossil fuel fool)
Unlock the dino's from their dungeons
(Fossil fuel fool)

Dinosaurs take back the planet
As if we didn't really plan it?
I'm a fossil fuel fool
(Chorus)

The "Damn Age" inflictin' damage
Cry of privilege in an outrage
I'm a fossil fuel fool
(Chorus)

Sniffing their fumes while "The End" looms
Brain is dead before the corpse is bled
I'm a fossil fuel fool
(Chorus)

Rev the engine again and again
'til the smell of Jurassic makes you sick
I'm a fossil fuel fool
(Chorus)
Chords: C B E / G A / A G E



Whistling In The Wind
LYRICS
Is anyone listing
Any *one* anywhere
Over here
Over there
... in the wind... whistling
Is anyone listing?

Wouldn't it be a travesty
If you dumped your tragedy
On me

Searching for a strategy
To save us from your tragedy
On we

Bridge the gap to reality
To serve from your destiny
Agony

Is anyone listing?
Is anyone?
Listening!
Chords: Em7 A A7 Am9 E7sus4 / C A / G A


Right Here, Right Now!
LYRICS
Must get through
Right here! Right Now!
Somehow
It's what we have to do
... get through
'cause it's what we have to do
Me, you... we
HAVE TO!
And for the next while
Somehow
Have to get the message through
WE DO! (It's overdue)
We'll try to keep it simple
Won't deviate from the principle
Right here, right now!
"AWAKE!
... our future's at stake"
Chords: F#7aug F# F#m7 / F# B F# / D C#7 F#
