I seldom write songs about contemporary topics because they require a certainty of viewpoint that I seldom feel these days. This one is an exception.....  Song is here: https://youtu.be/2CI9dqcPUjQLyric is below. Scott The Giant Ain’t Sleeping Anymore © 2019 by S.W. Campbell Streets in Miami are filling with water And Greenland’s getting green Oceans keep on getting hotter And they’re making more wind and rain So say goodbye to your tropical storm and hello to Your category four Cause the giant ain’t sleeping anymore Wildfires race cross California While tundra thaws in Nome In tornado alley there’s no time to warn ya You’re about to lose your home But the ticks and mosquitos love every minute As they bring disease up north Cause the giant ain’t sleeping anymore Politicians who say, “No one knows the answer” Are playing us for fools Telling us that windmills are causing cancer So let’s burn through all our coal We don’t need no eggheads doing science We don’t need no dumb accord Well the giant ain’t sleeping anymore At the rate that things are changing We’ll still be here to catch the blame And listen to our grandkids curse our name When did we all become such chickens? Scared to take a dare Dare to start making good decisions ‘Stead of sending thoughts and prayers There was a time when the frog in the water being heated Was just a metaphor But the giant ain’t sleeping anymore
