arctic sea

what do you say to the arctic sea
what do you say to a coral reef
what do you say if the change we made were wrong

obviously we got a coal mine here
obviously for every mine there’s a canary
tell me please, does she sing for very long

i don’t know
but I’ve been told
some things are meant to stay cold

it’s melting away
but you knew that, right
no more ice caps to deflect the light
earth’s about to have the damnedest bad hair day

maybe they’ll make
a giant pill for her
goliath estrogen for those hot flashes
with her luck, the fucking hmo won’t pay

what do i know
but i’ve been told
some things were meant to stay cold
