about

climate change pre-apocalypse

lyrics

We're gonna try to escape without trying
On a private jet we can't stop flying
You'll never make it out to sea
If I convince the climate to marry me

Home of the brave, land of the free
To be exploited and sold as property
On a game board monopoly
My piece is made of mahogany
I will endeavor to make a stand
To be the first realtor in the land
To sell premium climate insurance plans
Never be another scheme quite this grand again

The mid-atlantic summer will be nine months long
And by June and July, everybody will have gone
Further north up the hudson to pretend to speak French for several months
Old Ellicott City will flood again
For the fourth time this summer, and we will demand our congressmen send more mirrors to the stratosphere to block out the sun

We're gonna try to escape without trying
On a private jet we can't stop flying
You'll never make it out to sea
If I convince the climate to marry me
Don't speak its not on the policy
Built to last three more democracies
It's gonna kill you but it won't touch me
Cause I live above the food bank

Pressure is rising, buildings are climbing
Stories are ribcaged and ever defining
If I ask for one thing it's always the funding
That takes me away from the mess we have made

Theres a new bridge over the neighborhood now
It's far too late to turn around

I'm not from the future, you're from the past

We're gonna try to escape without trying
On a private jet we can't stop flying
You'll never make it out to sea
If I convince the climate to marry me
Don't speak its not on the policy
Built to last three more democracies
It's gonna kill you but it won't touch me
Cause I live above the food bank

This is the hottest new opportunity
I'm going to liquidate your topography
Waterfront margin hegemony
Environmental injustice impunity
