You take a look at the dawn When you blink it is gone Lost like the fawn That sang nature's song It's all dead We've got no chance Global warming is real Let's dance I was reading the newspaper yesterday Why why Mr President do you say That our science is a lie There are facts you can't deny But were never good at facing the truth Were ya? Were ya? And you never wanted to accept the facts Did ya? Did ya? But you were never good at hiding your thoughts Were ya? Were ya? You never ever thought you'd be attacked Did ya? Did ya? You take a look at the dawn When you blink it is gone Lost like the fawn That sang nature's song Where have you gone? Where have you gone? My friend. My friend. Where'd we go wrong? Where'd we go wrong? It's all dead We've got no chance Global warming is real Let's dance Where have you gone? Where have you gone? My friend. My friend. Where'd we go wrong? Where'd we go wrong?

Light 03:15
When things go bad, I'll be here To let you know it's alright When it gets dark at night And the shadows come I'll be your light Your eyes Over-sized and wide Just like an ocean to me I get lost in the sea Just know I'll be there for you In every shade of grey And every hue of blue When things go bad, I'll be here To let you know it's alright When it gets dark at night And the shadows come I'll be your light When it get's bad and it get's dark When things are bad you fall apart When it get's bad it breaks your heart So I'll be your light When things go bad, I'll be here To let you know it's alright When it gets dark at night And the shadows come I'll be your light

I Am a River 02:10
A river knows no time So of time it doesn't care You cannot hurt a river So it has no wounds to bare When you are a river you can go anywhere so I am a river A river wastes nothing Cherishes every single breath Rivers slow but never die So rivers don't fear death So I don't fear it either Disregard dying's shibboleth for I am a river A river is at its source And the streams of which it flows Every glistening tributary And the ocean where it goes Of all the things I've learned The one thing I truly know's that I am a river

Chemo 02:56
Chemo makes the flowers beautiful Look at you, look at your eyes Full of hidden pride Your head is so shiny and that's ok Don't let it make you grey You're pretty anyway, cause Chemo makes the flowers beautiful I promise one day, things'll be ok Believe the words I say Lookin at you 'n you're lookin down I'll get you outta this town Turn your frown upside down Chemo makes the flowers beautiful

Left my love scattered on the floor For you to find when you get home Cherish every little note Before I walk through the door Happy Valentine's Day, I miss you Like a loyal pup I will wait Everyday I hope and wish Dreaming of your loving kiss My will won't ever break Happy Valentine's Day, I miss you Love Lovely, I love you honey Everybody knows That daily my love grows All I have to say to she is Happy Valentine's Day, I miss you

Good Spirits 02:16
Lost my shoes Lost my mind Lost my groove Lost some time But it's ok It always seems That the world Is always working Working so hard Against me And I guess that I'm ok Dropped my hat Dropped my keys Kicked my cat Scraped my knees But it's ok It always seems That the world Is working against me But I just keep Good spirits And I guess that I'm ok Left my notes Left my dreams Left my coat Ripped the seams Of my jeans It always seems That things Never go my way But I keep saying It's ok Bad day Today Left late Hate bait Why do I try? Found my shoes Found my mind Found my groove Found some time So I'm alright

Smile More 03:04
Just you and me Positively Far as the eye can see Positively Like a melody I hear clouds sing Like a remedy It's a good feeling What makes you happy? As far as the eye can see Love, you and me Positively Like a melody I hear clouds sing Like a remedy It's a good feeling Golden sunshine door I should smile more What's to be sad for? Silver lining floor Like a melody I hear clouds sing Like a remedy It's a good feeling

Dead Flowers 02:33
Everyday I walk outside in the garden I see your flowers sitting there Dead as disco, dead as shit But I still grab my pail and care I'm still Watering dead flowers No matter how decomposed they become No matter how withered and shriveled up I still feed them fertilizer I still share a spare Budweiser I'm still Watering dead flowers Every day I walk outside in the garden To water your dead flowers With no hope, I've got some hope Hanging from little ropes I'm still Watering dead flowers

Sad People 02:04
Sad people don't understand You gotta feel bad for them They don't understand Lonely people are never happy A symptom of negativity Ridden with sadness Look at all the sad people Jealous people never win And envy is a sin A poison of the mind Hateful people don't progress All they do is stress And hate themselves Look at all the sad people Gotta get away from all these sad people

I went outside this morning And smelt some petroleum jelly It made me sick It was very smelly, petroleum jelly Then I sat under a watermelon fall But I left when I heard a licorice bird call I've never seen your God before But I have praised it Felt the worlds weight on top of me And then I raised it But I got stuck in an Alaskan tar pit And I had no place at all to sit I ate a Korean apple pear It was from Fiji Strawberry hard candies A lemon squeegee They were fruit based artifacts I like to call them fruitifacts They helped me outta the muck And I snuck into Canada I went to the zoo in Ontario And got married to a panda I started work as a bamboo farmer Working for 10 Euros and hour

I can hear you crying now Even from so far away I wish that I could make up for All the stupid mistakes I made But I'm just a stupid kid Yeah just a stupid kid We can stop talking if you want to Even though it'd make me sad Burn my sweater if you want to I'd completely understand We're both just stupid kids Yeah just stupid kids I guess this is goodbye The thought gives me a fright I think I'm gonna cry From that Pennsylvania frostbite We're all just stupid kids We're all just stupid kids We're all just stupid kids We're all just stupid kids

Do you know the hum of a radiator's song? Or that buzz from a television that's been left on? While it's an acquired taste that many dislike I quite enjoy what humans sound like While we used to sound more natural What we sound like is very cultural An industrial sound, an industrial face I love the sound of human waste Gotta love the sound of a busy city street Gotta love the sound of busy business men's busy feet While it's a noise that the orthodox despise I find much comfort in what humans sound like While we used to sound more natural What we sound like is very cultural An industrial sound, an industrial face I love the sound of human waste I don't know where the forests go When the people move to the city I don't know where the dead ducks go When the lake freezes over While it's an acquired taste that many dislike While it's a noise that the orthodox despise I quite enjoy what humans sound like I find much comfort in what humans sound like

Rock 03:16
I get lost in the words you say I get lost in my brain Things are bad sometimes It makes us sad sometimes And that's ok I'll be here every way I'll be here at every low I'll be here when you get out of the hospital I'll be here everyday And every night I'll be here Every way I will always sing to you Even when my guitar is outta tune I don't care it's ok For you it'll always play Everyday Every way

Hey, take it from me Hey, don't take it personally Escape is at the end of the tunnel And the tunnel is a double barrel shotgun Hey, take it from me But, don't take it personally Don't take it personally

about

Originally recorded in 2017/2018, this album has been put on the shelf awaiting it's time to come out. I've decided now and here is the time and place that I'm ready to release it. So, here it is for your listening pleasure: Global Warming is Real. Let's Dance! A collection of assorted songs with a reoccurring theme of clashing nature and industrialism.
