about

This isn't a song about a penis or about Hun Sen. Nor is it about Hun Sen's penis. It's about climate change, but more importantly, it's about how we're all going to die from it because nobody is doing anywhere near enough to solve the problem. Well, okay, I'm exaggerating. All your children or grandchildren will be the ones who die from it, we'll already be dead anyways, so who cares right?

As bad as it was for Trump to quit the Paris accords, what was even worse was his predecessor pretending that some weak shit like that was going to turn things around for everybody. Non-binding? Too little, too late? Sign me up! But first put out this wildfire that just ignited in my hair!

Oh, and the line about shooting yourself instead is a suggestion for climate change denialists. It's not pro-suicide or meant to be taken as such by melancholy teens. Only by climate change deniers. That's who should blow their brains out before they do any more fucking damage. Take the anti-vax people with you on your way out too, thanks.

lyrics

Hotter every year
Hotter everywhere you go
Talk about the weather
Don't admit what we all know

Temperature rising up
Higher and Higher
When crops start to fail
The situation gets dire

Disaster always looming
Nobody does a thing
The world plays deaf, dumb, blind
And one-eyed men are kings

Over and over
Species extinction
Our death is coming,
That's an easy prediction

I hate to be a cynic
but I hate false hope even more
I hate to be depressing,
but that's what punk is for

You always shoot the messenger
And then ignore the mess
Just shoot yourself instead
And you'll worry even less

We all know the problem
We could try to fix it
We can't just wait for the
one-eyed kings to give a shit
