Global Warming and the Skating Rink

Global Warming
If the cold weather is getting you down
Remember global warming is coming around
Al Gore will tell what you should do
He has invented something called the stay at home flu
If it's cold and cloudy and not so nice
The world is spinning on very thin ice
Global warming means winter is no more
Put on your shorts and open the front door
Have some ice tea with lemon or lime
Whining out loud or online is a political crime
Turn off your furnace and sit on the deck
Global warming is here, so what the heck
Global warming will start your day by taking a hike
Stop driving that gas hog and take your bike
If you're late and can't get up today just send a fax and continue to relax
Kick back and live off the rich man's new wealth tax
This is the new age that was promised, an age that will meet your every need
Just plant a garden with free government seed and pay you taxes to satisfy government greed
Sigh up for a mortgage that you do not have to pay
If you go broke, no problem as this is a new day
We're all wards of the golden new state
If you need money just hold out a plate
All moral issues are settled by polls
Big brother is watching and is setting the goals
Religion is as dead as yesterday's news
Rock and roll will settle your blues
Dishonor your parents, as they really are dumb
When you're in trouble just suck your thumb
History means nothing to the youth of today
They are determined to have it their way
Climate change is the way of the new slating rink
After all, the world in America is about to sink
