(93 posts)117. Hurricane
Disasters come more often it seems
And so Pat Robertson and I prayed
Everybody knows exactly what it means
It had to be that gay parade - that party on Fire Island, -that nightclub down in Queens
It was worse than a disaster scene
You see on the movie screen
I said, pardon me, what do you mean, by "anthropogenic global warming?"
She said, that is why the hurricane came aground
That is why the hurricane came aground
She told me the hurricane's name was Sandy
And it was the corporate
modus operandi
They pump carbon dioxide in the air
Then these come aground
They pump - in the air - these come aground
Now I've always trusted corporations are careful what they do
They don't pump poisons in the air
I don't think the problem could be co2
Or that the corporations just don't care
Hurricanes are not global warming
She's just a girl who claims
They caused this one
But Sandy is not Koch's son
She says they are the one
But the hurricane is not their son
Hurricanes are not global warming
She's just a girl who claims
They caused this one
But Sandy is not Koch's son
She says they are the one
But the hurricane is not their son
For Bush's two terms,
the law was on our side
But who can stand with Obama in charge and his business death march
And because - this hurricane- came aground
I went back to my corporate job
But what she said laid heavy on my heart
When I looked at the smoke stacks
My head began to throb, I thought about those slobs, and longed to join their mob!
Now I feel revulsed and conflicted
To this life of excess I've become addicted
I sold my soul as if money was eternal youth
Now that lie is an inconvenient truth
All Man's wealth comes from cheap fossil fuel
I jumped at that because I'm nobody's fool
Now that cost has come home to roost, as deadly as a viper
And we've got to pay the piper
So take my strong advice
Just remember to always think twice
Do think twice, do think twice
She told my baby, we were swimming til three
Then she looked at me, then showed me a photo
My baby cried, her family had died, oh no
All because - this hurricane - came aground
Hurricanes are not global warming
She just a girl who claims
They caused this one
But Sandy is not Koch's son
Hurricanes are not global warming
She's just a girl who claims
They caused this one
She says they caused this one
But the hurricane is not Koch's son
She says they caused this one
But the hurricane is not Koch's son
Hurricanes are not global warming
She's just a girl who claims
They caused this one
But Sandy is not Koch's son
She says they caused this one
But Sandy is not Koch's son
She says they caused this one
She says they caused this one
She says they caused this one
Hurricanes are not global warming
Hurricanes are not global warming
Hurricanes are not global warming
