Move Back Stupid

Move back, stupid

Here comes the sea

Do what you did

And get what you see

Grab your lifeboats

And your PFDs

Your cities are sinking

One, two, three

 

The ocean’s overflowing

Antarctica is thin

Still, you look the other way 

Though the tides are coming in

Hurricanes are blowing up

Eroded shores

And making them into

Ocean floors

 

Move back, stupid

Here comes the sea

Do what you did

And get what you see

Grab your lifeboats

And your PFDs

Your cities are sinking

One, two, three

 

Sharks at your back door

With toothy grins

Like it or not

They’re coming in

Eels in your toilets

Nettles in your beds

Oh, you’re way up in

Over your heads

 

Move back, stupid

Here comes the sea

Do what you did

And get what you see

Grab your lifeboats

And your PFDs

Your cities are sinking

One, two, three

 

NaCl

H20

Take a dive into your

New normal

It’s your turn,

It's your turn, boss

How do you like

Habitat loss

 

Move back, stupid

Here comes the sea

Do what you did

And get what you see

Grab your lifeboats

And your PFDs

Your cities are sinking

One, two, three

Your cities are sinking

One, two, three
