about

Music by Alison Hawkins in collaboration with Calvin Arsenia and Fritz Hutchison
Lyrics by Alison Hawkins

lyrics

Extremely hot or cooler than average
No more room for all of our garbage
Forests on fire, water is rising
Species extinct, permafrost melting
Most gruesome year two thousand nineteen
Carbon impact completely obscene

Why did they wear a thermal in June
You know it’s not even cold out
Try a light jacket in a monsoon
You cannot live with or without
Dress to expect our impending doom
Recycle thoughts to instill doubt

Can’t even count biology losses
No more food, trapped in greenhouse gases
Longer droughts, unemployment rising
Our greatest mistake so polarizing
Virus spread two thousand twenty
Global race for the latest vaccine

Why did they wear a thermal in June
You know it’s not even cold out
Try living freely in a cartoon
You’ll never know what it’s about
Dress to expect our impending doom
Recycle thoughts to instill doubt
