The times they are changing but it's really the same old thing

Now all the species are fading fast and it's the blue bird's last chance to sing

And that we don't have to surrender, let those scumbags and let them have their way

And it's really worse than that but we have already had a terrible day



Did you hear about the polar bears are in trouble they're out walking on thin ice?

No more blue whales I guess that's really not too nice



And remember that cute girl she came to town and became a junkie so quick?

She hangs out at a clinic and she's always looking sick

She had big dreams once but they all sort of melted away

Now she's just hanging around trying to make it day to day



Hey and the rainforests are all gone, I guess that's kinda' sad

Weather keeps changing, that's not good, it's rather bad



Black horned rhinos seem like old long lost friends

Silver back gorillas are right near their end

Illnesses that could have been cured by plants are now all long gone

Still the darkest hour is the one before the dawn



And we're all working hard, right above minimum wage

Waiting for fifteen minutes and a friendly stage



Mr. President looks serious, I guess we need some more wars

The FOX news lady says we got old issues to score

Momma's watching TV and praying there's no knock on the door

A patriot for his country, warnings that he chose to ignore



Smug politicians and movie stars all pose so tragically hip

Rearranging furniture on this sinking ship
