Reality

Let us go then, you and I,
to watch the waters lap oh so high
to watch the lakes grow oh so dry
while they blow smoke to the sky
and frack our future.

Bubble bubble,
distort the trouble,
doubt the science
on the double
lie and cheat and make a fuss
tomorrow's tomorrow,
in money we trust.

And the waters they rise,
and the islands they sink
Southern Louisiana's right in the drink
The wars are here, the thirst has come
but too many bigshots sit and hum.
Repeating the mantras won't change a thing
repeating the mantras won't change a thing
repeating the mantras won't change a thing.
Reality bites.
