Climate Change Denier - 09/22/19 10:29 PM
Well, I said on another thread, I'd stop arguing about this climate change thing and just write a song. So I did. And here it is
https://soundcloud.com/themysteriousbeings/climate-change-denier
I was going to add harmonies and stuff, but I'm not sure that that would help. It might be better to just leave it simple and folky. All comments and suggestions much appreciated.
Here are the lyrics, but it's best to listen to get the overall vibe.
CLIMATE CHANGE DENIER
(Words & Music by Gavin Sinclair)
Yes, I’m a climate change denier
Ninety-nine point nine percent of scientists are liars
Of course it’s getting warmer with all those pants on fire
Yes, I’m a climate change denier
I work for a foundation set up to save our nation
From those suckers who believe in China’s hoax
We call ourselves a think tank but we don’t do much thinking
‘Cause that’s not what they pay us for, folks
I get a million or three from the oil industry
Where there’s certainty, they pay me to remove it
They explain to me what reality should be
And I dash off a paper to prove it
Yes, I’m a climate change denier
Ninety-nine point nine percent of scientists are liars
Blame the tears of polar bears for oceans getting higher
Yes, I’m a climate change denier
Watch me on TV, I’m a master debater
Fair and balanced, they let me have my say
And I crush a guy from Stanford with his fifty years of data
By pointing out it snowed the other day
Every tiny mistake a scientist might make
I’ll make sure that that is all folks talk about
When the electorate’s confused, my employers are enthused
You say I’m spreading [naughty word removed], I call it doubt
Yes, I’m a climate change denier
Ninety-nine point nine percent of scientists are liars
I’ll keep denying the obvious till the other side gets tired
Yes, I’m a climate change denier
Don’t get all emotional just because the ocean’ll
Soon swallow up your tropical beauty spot
Shame about your island, but move to the Scottish Highlands
It used to be quite cold, but now it’s not. (It’s quite hot)
Yes, I’m a climate change denier
Ninety-nine point nine percent of scientists are liars
People ask me, “Why’re you throwing petrol on the fire
I say, what fire, I’m a climate change denier
