Rain is sadness and thunder is anger
The sunshine is all yours to savor
Snow is magic and ice is dreadful
Tornadoes are the be-all and end-all
Earthquakes are Lovecraftian horror
Tsunamis bring chaos and disorder
Wildfires turn forests into ashes
Turn living treasures into trashes
Apocalyptic rage on the front page
Zombies walk the earth, newfound birth
You’ve heard it all before on your TV
You’ve got the classics on a DVD
It looks silly sitting on your shelf
Until the ice caps begin to melt
Water gets warm, rises over land
Washes away more than just sand
Knocks over buildings, wrecks homes
Destroys every single car you own
Murders families from all walks of life
Every last kid, your husband or wife
Politicians keep sitting on their asses
Ignoring cries for help from the masses
The top one percent has nothing to lose
Think they have the right to choose
Who lives, who dies, who benefits
We don’t get to hear the end of it
Wish the tide would eat these rich jerks
And every golf course, go fucking berserk
A redwood tree falling on a limousine
Wouldn’t be enough or so it seems
But a lightning bolt to the mansion
Would put their asses into action
A hurricane throwing fat cats around
Up into the skies, crash to the ground
Only an emergency when privilege is threatened
Now do I have your motherfucking attention?
