extinction
Story behind the song
The clock is ticking
Lyrics
The clock is ticking,
The water is rising;
Madison Ave is advertising
Fossil fuel gets subsidizing,
NATO army terrorizing,
At the border sterilizing;
Nothing here at all surprising
Bolivia has indium and lithium and Venezuela gold & oil
Congo has the minerals and US corporate criminals
Destroy the people and their home to get each one of you a phone
Another country overthrown!!!
Gorillas, giraffes, rhino, birds
Orangutans and elephant herds
Turtle and tortoise, shark and porpoise
Leopard, Tiger, Panther, Tuna
Penguin, Dolphin, Panda, Luna
Coral reefs in the seas; chimpanzees and all the trees;
Butterflies and all the bees;
Anything with distinction on its way to extinction
Arctic melting to the sea; Heavy metals in your pee!!!! OHHHHHHH
Another pipeline with a leak;
fish are floating in the creek
Giuliani’s hair is drippin;
PFAS in your water sippin
Musk and Bezos lost in space;
Gates has lost the human race
Bidens in Ukraine corruption;
Fauci doing gain of function
Mixin up a bio-weapon
On the truth is always steppin
Telling truth is a crime;
Not OK to drop a dime;
If you do, you’re doin time.
Nuland talking on the line;
With the Nazis to align;
US coup is by design;
NATO there to undermine
Rachel is ranting Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia;
Hear her chanting Russia, Russia, Russia, Russia;
Sanctions are an act of war
To use against competitor;
For people quite inferior;
Human rights to ignore
Sanctions against Syria and Nicaragua, Libya
Venezuela, Laos, Tunisia Russia, Belarus, Crimea
Cyprus, Mauritania; Palestine, Somalia
Sanctions-Sanctions-Sanctions-Sanctions
Bosnia HerzegovinaKyrgyzstan, Iraq, Iran;
Rwanda, South Sudan, Lebanon, Afghanistan
Montenegro and Sudan; Serbia, Zimbabwe and
Ethiopia Eritrea
Sanctions-Sanctions-Sanctions-Sanctions!!!!!!
Cuba, Yemen, Burundi; Comoros, China, Guinea
North Korea, Haiti Moldova, Congo, Mali
Myanmar, CARGuinea Bissau,
HOLY COW!!! ALL THOSE SANCTIONS
Republicans & democratsies
sending weapons to the Nazis
your money doing rat-a-tatsies
Billions for aristocratsies
In the streets is an uprising,
Racial justice organizing,
For survival vocalizing,
But police mi li tar i zing
Locking down in isolation
need to have verification,
passport finding your location
Pharma doing calculation;
counting billionairization
Masses get re-education;
Psychosis for a mass formation
Government nu cle ar i zing
Rapturists evangelizing,
For the planet eulogizing
CO2 is ever rising,
421, 422;
Tell me what you’re gonna do,
423, 424; 425, 426; 27; 28
Tell me when it is too late
