Deniers

To the tune of "Russians" by Sting



In America and Australia there's a growing hysteria

Comparing those who see global warming threat

To the North Koreans and the Soviets.

Mr. Inhofe said scientists lied to you,

I don't subscribe to that point of view

It's such an ignorant thing to tell

I hope deniers love their kids as well.


How can I save my little girl from the rule of Texas Oil?

We see misuses of common sense

By those the Right side of political fence

They don't care about biology

But only their false ideology

Believe me when I say to you

I hope deniers love their children too.


These people claim rationality as they deny planetary reality

And believe to be the soul of the nation as they practice prevarication

Freedom and wealth do not require

To burn oil or set rainforests on fire.

Mr. Limbaugh said it can't be true,

I don't subscribe to that point of view,

It's such an ignorant thing to tell

I hope deniers love their kids as well.


The facts of climatology

Are not dependent on ideology 

What might save us, me, and you

Is if deniers love their children too.
