Bingley reposted some old stuff...

...so I felt nudged to do the same. An old post from 'Pints:



GAIA FEVER
By Al "Peggy" Gore

People been a-hurtin' Gaia, Actin' like they don't even care
Every time we burn some oil, She get a fever that's so hard to bear
We give her fever - when we're drivin', Fever when we're sittin' tight
Fever - when we're breathin', Fever when we use a light

Fire up a Ford Explorer, Fire up a barbecue
Fire up a dreaded Hummer, Temp goes up a notch or two
She get the fever - from the lawnmowers, Fever from the auto mart
Fever - from the Lear jets, Fever from the bovine farts
Poor ol' Gaia got the fever, Fever from the CO2
Good for us to realize this, We needed somethin' new to do

Carl Sagan had a nightmare, Said nuclear winter'd make us freeze
But Ronnie whipped the Soviet Union, So "winter" is now "risin' seas"
'Cause we got fever - to go protest, Fever to burn SUVs
Fever - from burning tires, Fever from the burning trees

Billy Jeff loved Kyoto, Said that it would cool the air
Mentioned it to the Senate, they said "Billy Jeff don't you dare"
'Cause they love fever - and the profits Halliburton sends their way
Fever - for the alcohol Farmers back in Ioway

Now you've seen my new movie, Everybody knows I care
So just keep givin' Gaia fever, 'cause she will drown the polar bears
And give me fever, for my wallet, Fever for my polity
Fever - to be runnin' as a Presidential nominee
What a lovely way to run
What a lovely way to run
