Take those potatoes outta your ears
Listen to the warnings, verify all your fears
There's a world outside that's ready to blow
And we're all to blame when it finally explodes

            D         B♭ C
  You gotta listen up
        D                      B♭      F
  Gotta listen to what they're tellin' you
  Gotta listen up
  And think about they're sayin' to you               B♭ F B♭ F  G

D    Fmaj7 C G  x 2

Temperature is risin' above the odorous rain
Well maybe it's in light of what we throw away
If we don't reuse what's around and free
My kids can't throw away their comic book fee

                Dm             F         C     Dm
    They're the self-appointed righteous pragmatists
        B♭        F     C       G
    And they know fifty ways to save the world

D    Fmaj7 C G  x 4

What makes you think you can cure our disease?
Maybe it's just our biology
Maybe it's time to make room for another species
This is the 21st century

  Pré-refrain  (they)

    They're the modern day catastrophists
    They know all the right equations
    They're the self-appointed righteous pragmatists
    And you too can be one of the few to save the world
