Melting At Both Ends

Melting At Both Ends (MP3)

D / Dm9 / C / C#

lyrics

Inspired by:

 "We now must choose between a serious problem that we can probably
 handle and, if we don't act soon, unmitigated disaster down the
 road," Hansen said.

     -- from --
     North Pole Meets South Pole: Earth Is Melting at Both Ends
     Melting Ice Caps Could Spell Disaster for Coastal Cities

--------------------

When ya burn the candle from both ends
Is that something you can probably handle
Or, is the message it sends --
Unmitigated disaster?

When it comes to nature
What makes us think we're the master?
We're the king of beasts?  Are you sure?
Perhaps the beast of beasts?  The best beasts?
Raping the landside as the outlaw vandal
Pilfering the resources in the name of vain
Makes me wonder if we're all insane?
Inane?

It feels that once translated...
Disaster unmitigated
It doesn't matter if this makes me frustrated
Or, even hated

We chose to go down this road
We chose to carry the heaviest load
Now, no matter how we cry and wine
No one can make everything fine

Worse than "crime of the century"
Ours is the crime of all history
Ours is the crime of all time
