LYRICS
Amidst a thickening mist
A fatal twist
No joke
That haze is smoke
Haze from a blaze
Enough to make you choke!
[siren sounding jam interlude]
Phased by the thickening haze
Could go on for days and days
No joke
That haze is smoke
Haze from a blaze
Enough to make you choke!
[siren sounding jam interlude]
Clogged with thickening fog
Pig roasted fat hog
No joke
That haze is smoke
Haze from a blaze
Enough to make you choke!
[siren sounding jam interlude]

A song about the air quality in Pennsylvania during June of 2023 as the smoke from the Canadian wildfires impacts life expectancy. The Northeastern USA saw its worst air quality ever. The alert system is color coded:
| Daily AQI Color | Levels of Concern | Values of Index |
|---|---|---|
| Orange | Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups | 101 to 150 |
| Red | Unhealthy | 151 to 200 |
| Purple | Very Unhealthy | 201 to 300 |
| Maroon | Hazardous | 301 and higher |
Where I live was in the Purple alert for days. Many of my friends and family were in the Maroon zone. Air pollution is: a leading cause of death worldwide, the leading cause of climate change, and the greatest threat to humankind.

A song about The Human Induced Climate Change Experiment
Smoke from wildfires in Canada brought record-breaking air pollution to the United States this spring, creating dangerous air quality from Bismarck, N.D., to Denver and Detroit to New York City and Washington. According to a Washington Post analysis of smoke data through June 7 (2023) from Stanford University, 197 air quality monitoring stations have reported all-time high pollution from wildfires.
