So now it's US against the world
The Stars and Stripes can be unfurled
We'll fly them high above the Earth
for what little they may be worth
From sea to rising sea...
Au Revoir, Paris
This "climate change" is just a hoax
Invented by some crazy folks
They say the planet's getting hot
And it's the only one we've got
But Mr. Trump does not agree...
Au Revoir, Paris

They used to call this the Last Frontier
Oil companies have made a killing here
The caribou and the polar bear...
The animals have got a lot to fear
Drill Baby Drill
Feed the addiction
Come on and auction the rights away
Raking in the money, there'll be hell to pay
Maybe gone tomorrow but it's here today
Wilderness is overrated anyway
Drill Baby Drill
Feed the addiction
Look what the lucky white man found
Lucky gold trapped underground
Greed is the virus going 'round
And all they want is money (money money money)
Gifts from the dinosaurs long ago
Nature's less important than the oil below
Rape the Earth and watch her flow
A river full of money (money money money)
It was heaven sent and then it all went wrong
It was paradise until we came along...

Under The Orange Sun
02:26

The morning brings a sickly glow
Today it seems so long ago
The places that we used to know
The memories still strong
The trees were standing tall and proud
Today they wear a burning shroud
An idiot in every crowd
A place they don’t belong
Under The Orange Sun
Lit by an orange moon
Burning up one by one
Everything ends too soon
The ashes fall on city streets
It looks a lot like coffin sheets
It’s raining down in endless Tweets
The flames keep marching on…
The trees that touched the endless sky
The idiot who made them die
Today I’m much too numb to cry
For everything that’s gone
Under The Orange Sun
Lit by an orange moon
Burning up one by one
Everything ends too soon

It's A Wonderful Life

Feed the addiction
(Drill baby drill)
Screw the science fiction
(Drill baby drill)
Listen to the Koch boys
(Drill baby drill)
Screw the Keystone killjoys
(Drill baby drill)
The summers are hot
The winters get colder
Will the planet be here
When our children get older?
It's a wonderful life
For those who get to live it
When the planet goes dark,
It's taking us with it
Deepwater Valdez
(Spill baby spill)
Greenland is melting
(Chill baby chill)
All the pretty wildlife
(Kill baby kill)
All the lonely people
(Kill baby kill)
When you cut the last tree,
Catch the last fish,
Poison the sea,
Earth has a lesson to give:
You can’t eat money to live
The summers are hot
The winters get colder
Will the planet be here
When our children get older?
It's a wonderful life
For those who get to live it
When the planet goes dark,
It's taking us with it.
We're addicted to oil
And so we must drill it
Such a wonderful place
It's a shame we must kill it
Such a miserable life
And humans are the cancer
On the face of the Earth
But Nature has an answer...

Ryan: you know the planet's dying
Why must you help it along?
The things you're doing are wrong
Pruitt: we always knew you'd do it
You're just a fossil fuel tool
You want to rip up the rules
Choose this day whom you will serve*
Kill the home you don't deserve
Nature always win this war
Man's the modern dinosaur
Ryan: you know your boss is lying
Yet you keep playing along
Until your conscience is gone
Pruitt: we always saw right through it
You're just a corporate lackey
You call the science wacky
You're on that extinction list
Homo sapiens won't be missed
Only fools can still ignore
Man's the modern dinosaur
Rape and pillage Mother Earth
Watch it burn for all she's worth
Close your eyes to what's in store
Man's the modern dinosaur
Drilling, they're gonna make a killing
The flora and the fauna will die
Your precious Jesus would cry
Mining, there is no silver lining
"Clean coal" is pie in the sky
Great food for pigs who can fly
Drilling, you're gonna make a killing
Until the oil runs dry
Then kiss your assets goodbye...

The New Normal
02:30
|

There was a lovely waterfall
The trees were green and standing tall
The photos are our only proof
Before it all went through the roof
So now we have these memories
How beautiful it used to be
Before we chopped down all the trees
Before we poisoned all the seas
The warning signs were everywhere
and still we looked away
Though it was hazy we all were crazy
To live from day to day
Welcome to the New Normal
This is the New Normal
It's rather informal
This is our New Normal
We always thought we made the rules
We kept on burning fossil fuels
We aren't the masters anymore
We are the modern dinosaurs
We tried to run we tried to hide
But we were stuck here for the ride
The lucky ones have long since died
The rest of us just stay inside
The hurricanes kept blowing up
The cities washed away
"Ignore the fires" said the deniers
Now they'll have to pay
Welcome to the New Normal
This is the New Normal
It's rather informal
This is our New Normal
Earth was a lovely place
We were the master race
Our ending now begins
‘Cause Nature always wins

Hey Daddy
What did you do in the war on Earth?
Hey Daddy
Were you thinking of us or what your stocks were worth?
Show me photos of the leopards and the tall giraffes
Hey Daddy
If only your money could bring them back
Hey Daddy
What did you think of the hurricanes?
Hey Daddy
What did you do when the flooding came?
Show me photos of a million species that all are gone
Tell me again how so many people could be so wrong
Hey Daddy
Looking back it seems so clear
Hey Daddy
It kept on getting warmer each year
Hey Daddy
Mostly everything is gone
Hey Daddy
The sixth extinction matches on...

Epitaph
09:30
|

Mourn what you lost
Mourn what you never had
These are the good old days
The future’s looking mighty sad.
Envy the unborn souls
For they may see it all return
Pity the unborn souls
For they may see the endless burn
We cursed the ashes and the haze
We never blamed our foolish ways
We offered him eternal praise
He cursed us with the End of Days
Now say goodbye
An epitaph for modern man
The Earth can breathe again
Without us and our master plan
Don’t cry for us
We had our golden days
Just smile and wave goodbye
The earth won’t miss the human race
