We'll Burn The World

[_Coggins7]

Ice caps are melting seas are rising fast
That CO2 is such a terrifying gas
I saw that polar bear look forlorn at my face
A plump and fuzzy warning to our race

We'll burn the world and melt its true
We've seen those neat graphs and its getting hotter all the time
There's only one thing we can do
Stop having kids and eat tofu

(We should know better)
Dream of better lives before the modern age
(In the peaceable kingdom)
Before light bulbs or central heating were the rage
(We should know better)
I made a pilgrimage to Larson B last year
(You should see why)
But I didn't see much 'cause of all that beer

We'll burn the world and melt its true
We've seen those neat graphs and its getting hotter all the time
There's only one thing we can do
Stop having kids and eat tofu

(We'll burn the world) We'll melt the glaciers watch them go
(IWe'll burn the world) We'll watch the Penguin flee from Exxon Mobile and Citgo
(We'll burn the world) We'll see what Albert Gore can do
(We'll burn the world) We'll burn the world and melt its true

The future's going bad

(We'll burn the world) We'll melt the glaciers watch them go
(IWe'll burn the world) We'll watch the Penguin flee from Exxon Mobile and Citgo
(We'll burn the world) We'll see what Albert Gore can do
(We'll burn the world) We'll burn the world and melt its true

hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm

We'll burn the world and melt its true
We've seen those neat graphs and its getting hotter all the time (there goes our world)
We'll stop free markets and you'll see
We'll live like cavemen by the sea
With no more cars or super glue
Before the world burns too soon

Loran, are these original lyrics or an alteration from another song? If original, your are getting really good.

What does this line mean - I made a pilgrimage to Larson B last year?

[_Fortigurn]

I agree moksha. These are Cog's most creative and entertaining posts. I believe he has a real talent for this.

This is sung to the tune of "I'll Melt With You" by Modern English (The Psychedelic Furs did another version, as well as a couple other groups, I believe, but I couldn't name them off hand). These are the original lyrics:



Moving forward using all my breath
Making love to you was never second best
I saw the world thrashing all around your face
Never really knowing it was always mesh and lace

I'll stop the world and melt with you
You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
There's nothing you and I won't do
I'll stop the world and melt with you

(You should know better)
Dream of better lives the kind which never hate
(You should see why)
Dropped in the state of imaginary grace
(You should know better)
I made a pilgrimage to save this humans race
(You should see why)
What I'm comprehending a race that long gone bye

(I'll stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you
(I'll stop the world) You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time
(Let's stop the world) There's nothing you and I won't do
(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you

The future's open wide

(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you
(Let's stop the world) I've seen some changes but it's getting better all the time
(Let's stop the world) There's nothing you and I won't do
(Let's stop the world) I'll stop the world and melt with you

The future's open wide

hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm
hmmm hmmm hmmm hmmm

I'll stop the world and melt with you (Let's stop the world)
You've seen the difference and it's getting better all the time (Let's stop the world)
There's nothing you and I won't do (Let's stop the world)
I'll stop the world and melt with you (Let's stop the world)
I'll stop the world and melt with you (Let's stop the world)
I'll stop the world and melt with you (Let's stop the world)



Glad you enjoyed it...

Oh, sorry Moksha, I didn't explain that part you mentioned. The Larson B ice shelf has been melting and calving off in recent years, and this has been used by pro-AGW people as evidence of human induced warming. That's how it made it into the song.

You and your damn SUV cog. You should be ashamed of yourself. What would Sheryl Crow say?

Sheryl Crow is small potatoes. The real heavy hitter is Elton John. He wants to make organized religious worship a crime.

You and your damn SUV cog. You should be ashamed of yourself. What would Sheryl Crow say?

To what do you attribute the last Ice Age? Or the warming thereafter? Hasn't the earth warmed and cooled repeatedly, prior to man's invention of the combusion engine?

[_moksha]

Yikes, how could they possibly make the inference about ice melting having anything to do with getting warmer? There is a scriptural explanation, right?

Keep up the good work on those lyrics!
