LYRICS
An unimaginable heat wave
Coming to our age
Say it’s all the rage
Hear the critics rave
“It’s hot — heat wave!”
(It’s to die for… and so much more)
Heat wave
Man will bake his cake of earth
Curse the land of his birth
No way to behave
Heat wave… wave… bye-bye… don’t cry
Man demands it’s a must
We will all return to dust
Man commands The End of Days
Damn demand won’t change ways
Riff: e d b d b a g e e
Chords: Em / B G
Instrumentation: Vocals, Electric Guitar, Keyboards (Yamaha PSR740, Korg PS60, MicroKorg)
This song was inspired by the world’s largest life saving agencies (U.N. humanitarian aid agency OCHA and the International Federation of Red Cross) saying neither they nor humans can adapt to climate change in time. The lifeguards cannot save you — Extreme Heat: Uninhabitable Within Decades. “We don’t want to dramatize it, but clearly the data shows that it does lead towards a very bleak future,” said IFRC secretary-general Jagan Chapagain.
