[Intro]
How does it feel
To the touch
(For real)
Hurt much?
[Verse 1]
Did you put your finger to it
And, if so… is it lit
Had you forgot…
It’s way too hot
[Chorus]
How does it feel
To the touch
(For real)
Hurt much?
[Verse 2]
Did you learn
How to burn
Did you earn
Your degree…
In degrees
(Oh, please)
[Chorus]
How does it feel
To the touch
(For real)
Hurt much?
[Bridge]
Ouch!
The third degree
(Is getting to me)
Beyond dead
(Skin’s dead)
I’m tellin’ ya sister
(It’s turned to blister)
[Chorus]
How does it feel
To the touch
(For real)
Hurt much?
[Outro]
Burnt black
(Ain’t no growing back)
A SCIENCE NOTE
Our latest climate model — now incorporating complex social-ecological feedback loops within a dynamic, non-linear system — projects that global temperatures could rise by up to 9°C (16.2°F) within this century. This far exceeds earlier estimates, which predicted a 4°C rise over the next thousand years, and signals a dramatic acceleration of warming.
At this level of heating, large regions of the planet will become uninhabitable due to extreme heat, sea level rise, agricultural collapse, and mass migration. Critically, parts of the U.S. are already experiencing wet-bulb temperatures approaching or exceeding 31°C (87.8°F) — a physiological limit beyond which the human body can no longer regulate its internal temperature, even in the shade with ample water.
This is no longer a distant threat. The climate system is entering a phase of compound risk and cascading collapse — and we are already seeing the early signs.
Immediate, radical mitigation and adaptation efforts are now essential to preserve habitable zones, food systems, and public health.
