Climate Change (The Only Thing That Worries Me) - An original song by LawyerOnTheLoose published on 2021-11-22T10:24:02Z Climate Change (The Only Thing That Worries Me) There's a beggar In the city He walks on his bare feet His wife lies sick in the gutter His daughter works the streets But the beggar doesn't worry about those things Poverty almost makes him sing! You might find it strange But the only thing that worries him Is the threat from climate change There's a worker From Bangladesh Building houses in Qatar Football stadiums and hotels Rising up to reach the stars But the scaffold gives way and that's the end For our worker and thousands of his friends You might find it strange But on their minds as they fell to death Was the threat from climate change There's a family man In China He's a slave in a factory Making lots of plastic stuff That's shipped to you and me And the sweatshop's open day and night Who cares about workers' rights? You might find it strange But the only thing that worries him Is the threat from climate change Little brother Walking home You're now on CCTV When you stop for a hot dog The authorities can see The police reads your life like an open book But hey! We can't let terrorists off the hook... You might find it strange But the only thing that worries him Is the threat from climate change These new cars They are so smart They don't need energy Just use the socket on your wall And charge the battery They drive by themselves in a long steely chain It almost looks like (what's it called....?) a railroad train! It's hard to believe, but it's true: Electricity is a magic thing That appears out of the blue!

There’s a verse for you, right out of the news. 2022-04-16T16:59:51Z Comment by Daniels & Durgy Perfectly crafted with tons of wonderful personality. Love these brass highlights to accentuate the irony and critical message. A class track!

Well made razor humor for dark times. 2022-04-02T12:01:18Z Comment by English Minor I think this may be the first song I've listened to on SC that I literally laughed out loud at (in the appropriate and approving way). So comforting to hear about these enlightened proles. 2022-03-31T20:08:45Z Comment by Synthgrinder Marvelous Tune...Loved every Minute. 2022-03-30T20:28:32Z Comment by JB STREETZ nice work love circus music 2022-03-24T07:13:21Z Comment by Lady of Fire Poetry A legend in the making! 2022-03-18T11:24:01Z Comment by Alfred de Raza Great musical theater song!

And you could have written 20 more verses, 2021-12-07T02:10:54Z Comment by Steam Captain Carter An awesome awesome song. As usual, I love the atmosphere and construction of your songs. Dark, relevant and smart lyrics. This song makes me feel I've walked into a crazed burtonesque carnival presented by Leonard Cohen. 2021-12-02T16:27:12Z Comment by Thierry Gagarine excellente intro 2021-12-01T07:07:20Z Comment by Pegah like it👍🏻 2021-11-24T13:48:43Z
