lyrics

(verse 1)
The future’s sure bleak if you listen to the experts,
But I prefer to listen to Fox news.
Science says last year was the world’s hottest.
When you tell me that, man, it just gives me the blues.
The warning signs were just too hard for me,
I couldn’t believe what I couldn’t see.

(chorus 1)
Hey... what can you do. Hey, what can you do.
but hey, what can you do.

(verse 2)
They say we need to cut down on our emissions,
Well blah, blah, blah, we’ve heard that before.
Rising temperatures are a minor inconvenience,
It’s always hotter in the summer, now it’s just a little more.
The warning signs were just too hard for me,
I couldn’t believe what I couldn’t see.

(chorus 2)
Hey... what can you do. Hey, what can you do.
(The polar ice caps are melting so fast,
the seas are rising a foot or two),
but hey, what can you do.

(bridge)
Did this happen because of something that we’ve done?
How did the weather turn so severe?
I miss the seasons, and I hate this burning sun,
How many reasons do we need to hear?

(chorus 3)
Hey... what can you do. Hey, what can you do.
(Nature might be a little out of control,
but that depends on your point of view),
but hey, what can you do.
