Home Here on the Earth

(Sung to the tune of "Home on the Range")

 

I hope there's a place where the whole human race

Can survive the weather extremes--

Where most of the herds don't ignore experts' words,

And we ALL have clean rivers and streams.

 

Chorus:

Home here on the earth,

Where we all want to live out our dreams--

Where it would be strange to deny climate change

And life's not as bleak as it seems.

 

When certain jackasses don't restrict greenhouse gases

And they couldn't care less 'bout the earth

And they cause many schisms with trite euphemisms,

They ignore the planet's true worth.

 

Chorus:

Home here on the earth,

Where we all want to live out our dreams--

Where it would be strange to deny climate change

And life's not as bleak as it seems.

 

When the USDA says starting today

Saying "carbon" is strictly taboo,

Their major concerns are the greatest returns,

And to hell with what might be true.

 

Chorus:

Home here on the earth,

Where we all want to live out our dreams--

Where it would be strange to deny climate change

And life's not as bleak as it seems.

 

When the experts say, "Wow, we are feeling it now,"

And they watch the ice melt at the poles,

You don't have to be a genius to see

The importance of certain controls.

 

Chorus:

Home here on the earth,

Where we all want to live out our dreams--

Where it would be strange to deny climate change

And life's not as bleak as it seems.
