Climate Change Sucks

I imagine a Riot Grrrl band performing a song called “Climate Change Sucks.” And… this website isn’t exactly set up for poetry or lyrics, because there shouldn’t be spaces between every line, but here it goes.

Climate change sucks!

The planet’s on fire!

Climate change sucks!

The situation’s dire!

Climate change sucks!

Stop being in denial!

I woke up this morning with a sore throat.

Threw open a window and started to choke.

Now an air purifier replaced my coffee table.

’Cause the planet is so fucking unstable.

Climate change sucks!

The sky is on fire!

Climate change sucks!

The situation’s dire!

Climate change sucks!

Stop being in denial!

The sun burns red and ashes are falling.

Cats hide indoors, birds stopped calling.

People are worried, and the sky is hazy.

Climate change is driving me crazy!

Climate change sucks!

The sky is on fire!

Climate change sucks!

The situation’s dire!

Climate change sucks!

Stop being in denial!
