Temperature's Rising by Doc Twang published on 2014-03-21T19:46:10Z TEMPERATURE'S RISING Music and Arr. M.J. Olson & A. Lehman, March 1992 Lyrics- M.J. Olson As a boy I saw a B-grade flick 'Bout a noble scientist trying hard to fix A huge gaping hole in our atmosphere. I haven't thought much about it since But it's occured to me that I'm convinced That those science-fiction days are really here. We've been chopping down our ancient trees We've brought the rainforest to its knees. With uncounted poisons, we've fouled our air. We froze our food and cooled our cars And unwittingly inflicted invisible scars By shooting off rockets and spraying our unruly hair. ooh ooh, what can we do? Some don't think it any big news But our Mother Earth is hurt, can't you hear her crying? Oh No there's a rip in the dome That protects the place that we call home And we run from our old friend Sol and the temperature's rising. Temperature's rising, Temperature's rising. Temperature's rising, Temperature's rising. Temperature's Ooh Ooh Temperature's rising. Temperature's Ooh Ooh Temperature's rising. Where's it going?Going Up My, My! There's a hole in the sky And the rays of the good sun relentlessly fry Anything exposed to his shining, shining face. ~ ~ There's a hole in the sky Takes no genius to figure out why This spells trouble for more than just the Human Race Hey, hey!

Or could we all just stop before our children Inherit a burned-out empty shell That's been stripped of all its natural treasures. Or should we patiently wait for a sorcerer's trick Or for Science to come up with a high-tech fix Like some kind of new-wave, space- age shielding? Well, that might buy us a little time While we go on ignoring all the signs That the rest of life on earth is steadily yielding and the Temperature's rising, Temperature's rising. Temperature's rising, Temperature's rising. Temperature's Ooh Ooh Temperature's risi~ Temperature's Ooh Ooh Temperature's rising. Where's it going?Going Up Is it hot enough? Oh Yeah? Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh If we want to we can stop them.
