Angry Climate Change Deniers of the Future

“The fuckin’ sky is green
and has always been green!

You keep babblin’ bout that blue bullshit again
I’ll have you fuckin’ institutionalized!

Ya hear me!? Ain’t no son of mine gonna
be no Bluie, claimin’ the sky was once blue

and that raindrops usta feel cool to the touch
and didn’t sear the skin!”
