Flash Freeze
Leaked excerpts from the journal of a
disgruntled federal, civil servant employee.

My knightly mission is to protect the air you breath,
keep you safe from all harm environmentally
But the new king, who was just sworn in,
said an endangered earth ain't nothing but liberal spin
He's gonna have those fracking machines
dig even deeper into the ground
Inject more and more waste water underneath
He said too much regulating ain't economically sound,
big business will get the economy back on it's feet
The king vowed they're gonna hit paydirt,
there's lots of oil soon to be found
Pump the profits up
by putting more poison in the ground
And the crops just cried a little more
because I couldn't unsheathed my sword
King put a muzzle on me and my scientific horsemen,
round tabled us with a work order freeze
There's a flash flood coming, a quake just around the bend ...
the earth's gonna open up and swallow us all in
Lord, please
forgive us for our sins
Flash freeze ... if they don't stop,
Ice Age soon to begin,
and we didn't care to know we brought it on ourselves
Custodians of the planet just got laid off,
as the mockers continue to scoff
Wonder what they're gonna think
when the land begins to stink
Vomiting oil all over the tainted soil
Flash freeze ... no more hiring
Help won't be on the way,
but this old knight will continue to pray
that our children will live to see a green day
