LYRICS
We see the leaf leaves the tree
I mean extreme weather spills blood
About the drought…
Then…
Another flood
And, yet, so far…
You don’t find it bizarre?
It’s hard to avoid Mr. Floyd
Sold his guitar…
For charity…
For clarity
Heartfelt
Meant for the environment
And, yet, so far…
You don’t find it bizarre?
The dog sled running out of ice bed
Fan the flames of the wildfire
Dow we have a higher desire?
And, yet, so far…
You don’t find it bizarre?
Not less surprising
The sea level’s rising
You know “tornado”
… hurricane’s insane
With pollution so thick
It’s making you sick
Enter your head: “We’re almost dead!”
And, yet, so far…
You don’t find it bizarre?
