Carbon Tax (Cold Hot Mess)

Lyrics

C-C-Carbon in the air, they say,
The ice is melting every day,
They’re taxing breath, they’re selling fear,
A global game, it’s all too clear.

Models shift, the numbers dance,
Predictions fail, they take their chance,
A frozen world stays cold and still,
The truth’s a chill they can’t fulfill.

This is the scam of the atmosphere,
Sh-sh-shaking down the world with tears,
Carbon lies, they pull the strings,
A puppet show with melting things.

P-P-Polar bears on TV screens,
A crisis built by big machines,
They’ll guilt you ‘til you change your ways,
But the sun still burns, the earth still plays.

Data bends, the headlines scream,
A grift dressed up as nature’s dream,
The ice retreats, then grows again,
A cycle lost on greedy men.

This is the scam of the atmosphere,
Sh-sh-shaking down the world with tears,
Carbon lies, they pull the strings,
A puppet show with melting things.

No whiteout storms, no endless flood,
Just power plays in suits and mud,
Their doomsday’s just a twisted fate.
We’re the carbon they want to eliminate.

This is the scam of the atmosphere,
Sh-sh-shaking down the world with tears,
Carbon lies, they pull the strings,
A puppet show with melting things.

C-C-Carbon in the air, they say,
The ice is fine, it’s here to stay,
A frozen truth they won’t confess,
The climate scam’s a cold hot mess.
