A Climate Change call to action wrapped up in a swampy two step type blues! I think no frogs were boiled during the making of this song (but you never know for sure these days)

lyrics

Back in the old days when there was a heat wave
We'd just put on our shorts and sandals
But sad to say these days have gone away
Now Mama we're all too hot to handle
We're like frogs in a bucket boiling ourselves alive

Forests burning rivers drying
Waters rising, fishes dying
We're like frogs in a bucket boiling ourselves alive

Methane, CO2
Too much, courtesy of me and you
We're like frogs in a bucket boiling ourselves alive

We said we'd keep it at 1.5
We should have kept it at 1.5
But we're like frogs in a bucket boiling ourselves alive

Seems clear to me, we'll not make the next century
Unless we stop burning them fossils right now
Really, its plain to see, there isn't a planet B
We need to learn to love the one we're on .....and somehow

We said we'd keep it at 1.5
We should have kept it at 1.5
But we're like frogs in a bucket boiling ourselves alive
