There’s a heat wave running wild

There’s a heatwave running wild

 

Theres a heat wave

Running wild

Oblivious of the borders 

Run by the corporate money hoarders

 

There’s a heatwave running wild

As the stealthy arms of 

a monetary system 

Poisoned with greed 

Consumes everything in its path

 

There’s a heatwave running wild

while the blind insatiable pockets of we want more

And insurmountable walls proclaiming 

We want war

are the very sustenance for economies 

never meaning to mature

 

There’s a heatwave running wild

While the psychopaths chuckle

they continue to suckle 

The apron strings of the diabolical morons

Bedecked with graying combing overs 

Spewing cacophonous tsunamis of verbal diarrhea 

filling the bowls of white supremacists

Then wait and watch  as the fecal bullets 

Begin ripping living tapestries 

bringing forests to their knees

 

There’s a heatwave running wild

Truths that once were precious

Are now labeled as malicious

And state sanctioned education 

teaches nothing but predation

While devious Wall Street brokers

Clear around the globe

Give praise to the dollar

As they gather and they wallow

In the pools of collusion

oblivious of the pollution

Created by the industries

that will eventually 

choke 

them 

all!

 

There’s a heatwave running wild

The blind indifference 

To all that life holds dear

And all it creates is a deafening fear

 

 

There’s a heatwave running wild 

As Indigenous realities 

Are ripped to shreds

For the financed diocese

Of the order of the greased palm policies

Implemented by the Bolsonaros and Trumps 

of the world

Riddled with inherent greed 

They’re all members of a psychopathic creed

 

There’s a heatwave running wild

When black top, 

Oil, coal, gold

And the beef crop

Rates more than treetop

 

 

And destruction is the 

chemical worlds smack 

And pharmas’ crack

And the fossil fuel industries

Absolute frack

And they’ve been lying since the 50’s

While annihilating species

And wildlife communities

Ignoring malaria, cholera, HIV and Zika

SARS, Ebola, SARS-CoV-2 and Nipah

While bribing with impunity

for ever lasting immunity

For all the crooked politicians

 

 

There’s a heatwave running wild

Induced demand

Seduced the man

To build steel, glass and brick

With pavement as the pecuniary kick

And the thoroughfares of bitumen

Provide their daily vitamin

Falsely claiming they were clean 

Became the common valued mien

And the condoms of plastic

Round all the fruit and veg

Running riot are prolific

Lay waste the land and waters

The tally of it all threatens to leave nothing 

for all our sons and daughters

 

Those future generations protestations

Grow in eloquence 

To end the effluence 

Of a system gone mad

Knowing full well

The tolling of the bell

Heralds this man made hell

And the education they receive 

Will do no good in the future they perceive 

 

 

Divorced as such, from all that nature does

All we’ll be, is become what was 

Unless, with them, we take the reins in hand

and change the nature of our brand

There’s a heat wave running wild

There’s a heat wave running wild

Wake up, There’s a heat wave running wild
