lyrics

Some talk about the global situation,
and some change the station
I talk about climate change
and you’re just out of range

Singing about the obvious to the oblivious
to some it’s inconvenient and to some it might be hideous
I'm just singing the obvious to the oblivious

Some scoff at what science finds,
invent new ways to be blind
But if we all take the easy route,
the bad outcome won’t be in doubt

Singing about the obvious to the oblivious
to some it’s nonexistent and there’s nothing really to discuss
I'm just singing the obvious to the oblivious

You get distracted and bored about the subject
what's it going to take for you to connect?
Why bother talking it falls on deaf ears
you're going to find out when your world disappears

When things you know start going extinct
will it make you think?
or just look at your phone and stare,
or rearrange the deck chairs

Singing about the obvious to the oblivious
Thinking that some of us just want to be lascivious
to some it’s inconvenient and to some it might be hideous
to some it’s nonexistent and there’s nothing really to discuss
Singing about the obvious to the oblivious
