One minute to midnight

One minute to midnight

And now we are close to oblivion

Staring now into the abyss of self extinction

But why would those who deny climate change worry

It’s our children’s children who will suffer

Thanks to what we have done as their world burns under a red hot sun

Temperature rising under global warming

All because we refused to heed all warnings

Future generations will pay

For the exploitation carried out in our name

Trump and Meatloaf say climate change is fake

They are not experts and so they should just step away

From voicing their opinion and having a say

Their ignorance it comes in abundance

Just like pollution, plastic and acid rain

They say Greta is brainwashed each day

I’m repeating what the experts say

That’s got to be better than regurgitating their inane tweets

About the wonders of living a life of greed

Rather just taking living around what we need

So when it gets to the point of a minute to midnight

You’ll be gone and things will go so very quite

As our future generations are dying

For the sins if the forefathers who simply didn’t care enough.
