Story Behind The Song

In the spirit of Bob Dylan, this is a modern day protest song. I use sarcasm to ridicule the concept of Climate Change. The earth's climate has been in flux since the beginning of time and humans are small players on this vast stage. Scientists have studied the data of ice core samples from over thousands of years and have used the results to fund various grant requests. Al Gore was a student of Roger Revelle, Ph.D, at Harvard, who was teaching about global warming at the time. As a senator from Tennessee, Al Gore found the money train to fund this research and hungry scientists flocked to the trough. Dr. Revelle realized the fallacy of global warming, but his findings were hushed up. The money train had left the building. Politicians are now using this fallacy as a measure of control. This song pokes fun at the inconvenient truth, which is not.

Song Description

The singer studied history and points out the earth's climate changes on a grand scale. She blames primitive man and the mastodons for the ice age in their time. The singer interjects that politicians make her feel like she is to blame for the imminent doom of the earth's climate. She sums it all up at the end of the song by being quite flippant.

Lyrics

Climate Change
(Chorus)
Well, I studied history. It ain't no mystery.
We had a ice age, thousands a years ago.
You know, it's their fault. They shoulda seen it comin'.
And done somethin' like this here, I'm gonna say...
I. Why didn't those dense Neanderthals rub two sticks together?
And set some forest fires to warm this planet up!
Too busy rabbit humpin' for more a God's creation.
At least they made more humans to leave a carbon print.
And how 'bout this?
II. Those big ole hairy mastodons shoulda done their part.
Shoulda ate more cabbage to make some big damn farts!
All that methane stinko woulda made more greenhouse gas.
And all that fruity flatulence, coulda saved th' planet's ass!
(Bridge)
Oh, climate change is th' new buzzword.
Politicians say I'm to blame for th' end a th' world.
Climate change. We're all in peril.
How can I keep on breathin', if I'm a climate changin' girl?
III. Now that we're all warmed up and goin' th' other way.
It's time to see our folly, or man we're gonna pay.
We got a fix our climate for th' world to be saved.
Or we'll go back full circle and starve in some damn caves!
(Chorus)
Well, I studied history. It ain't no mystery.
We had a ice age thousands a years ago.
You know, it's their fault. They shoulda seen it comin'.
And done somethin' like this here, I'm gonna say...
(Tag)
Oh, climate change, screw you!!!
