This track is the first of several Sinner G is putting together for the Rap Da Bunker mini album, which will be released between the Brave EP in January 2013 and it's follow up.

It's still a bit rough, and we'll be reworking all the early versions for a proper release later.

Track was written, performed and mixed by Ioneye, lyrics written and performed by Sinner G of Twin Lizard Version 4.

Many thanks are due to Mick West and Jay Reynolds for reviewing the science in the lyrics, and to all the other users of METABUNK.ORG for their valuable feedback.

Vocals were recorded by Maurice Mulligan at Brickbeat Studios.

------------------------------- LYRICS

Fighting fire with fact about lines in the sky,
Theory about which is increasingly cockeyed,
And driven by the paranoid, distressing like a battlecry,
Despite distorted basis like tabloid outcries.

”Have you seen the chemtrails,” conspiracists cry,
And do you know they’re connected, to evil drives?
But that’s just speculation based on slovenly lies,
That coincide with unusual things in your eyes.

I’ll start with the claims before laying any blame,
And tame a troll or two as part of the game,
I aim to outsmart and the science reclaim,
And puncture a few egos addicted to the fame.

Elongated trails are one of the first,
Details in the tale of a scams birth,
Relies on a dearth of learning about the physics of the Earth,
Exploited by the paranoid for all that it’s worth.

It’s been science fact since 1923,
That water from an engine is likely to freeze,
Above 30 thousand feet where the temperature’s usually,
Minus 40 to minus 60 degrees.

But if the atmosphere’s also moisture free,
This allows the ice that forms to melt away with ease,
High humidity creates a second species,
Which remain along the path of the planes journey.

I’m putting it simply, to keep things easy,
For disambiguation if you like to get picky,
Ice supersaturation is the technical doohickey,
For the trick that stops contrails from dispersing quickly.

CH

There’s a worrying propensity,
It’s conspiracy,
With those who believe we’re ruled by our enemies,
But not to put an end to me,
It’s conspiracy,
That much is plain to see.

V2

So, normal contrails persist and spread,
Scientifically proved, so that claims dead,
Let’s face another line which helps a hoax spread,
Amongst those fed a diet of chemtrail dread.

I don’t remember those, you say to yourself,
When I was a pup, and I used to look up,
Approach with a hardhead as photos and film are widespread,
The archive nails this one to the masthead.

From the battle of the bulge in fourty four,
To the Memphis Belle in the second world war,
To the film Zulu and celluloid battle’s for,
Gettysburg, Rome and British Pathe’s Strasbourg.
Why all the believers? I look to nostalgia,
And it’s favourable purpose in the eyes of academia,
The rose tint factor that protects the brain from pain,
Like Pethadine in your veins could for neuralgia.

No coincidence the incidence of hippies on Twitter,
Increased air traffic that fits their mental schema,
Recall era’s of blue skies and talk bitter,
At nature clouded by man-made ice emitters.

V3

What about these documents in which our governments,
Admit to their intent to mitigate weather trends,
And the patents for devices that people invent,
Which tend to cement believer discontent?

From Welsbach to Kucinich it’s a question of extent,
To which a mention in a paper is real evidence,
For the ongoing events chem theories present,
The logical connection is decidedly bent.

A patent can apply if a device wouldn’t work,
And Welsbach is a stratospheric framework,
Far above where photographed craft safely lurk,
So sadly irrelevant to your research.

Act 2977’s a similar quirk,
Propaganda from the believers church,
Roundly condemned by it’s original source,
Related not to chemtrails but to star wars force.

I’m constructing this rap to bridge logic gaps,
If you’re connecting dots be sure to always check your facts,
Human brains are biased when they want to believe,
To confirm without criticism that which misleads.

The real treacheries in conspiracies industry,
And the need for popularity of it’s self proclaimed authorities,
Who’ve been told about disparities but continue anyways,
Exploiting naivety using basic psychology.

In the name of charity, they propagate a fallacy,
Ultimately blindly ‘til it all ends badly,
Should somebody give substance to the trend emergent,
Stop advocating violence and learn a little science.

FINAL CH

Trail’s don’t worry me
There’s no conspiracy
When you examine the claims empirically
There isn’t any parity,
It’s a fallacy,
That much is plain to see.
