2					Lyrics: “...in this economy?”
3
4	x	7	7	6	Choose how you'll go!
5
6		10	10	9	You can hit the road:
7					Death by
8					Dust bowl
9					Sink hole
10					Tornado
11		7	7	6	Forest fire smoke.
12		10	10	9	Heat stroke from the
13					Concrete jungle's daily inferno
14
15		12	12	11	*Reflecting on the loss of
16		12	12	11	Glacier and ice-cap albedo.*
17
18		10	10	9	Move to Greenland, maybe.
19		10	10	9	(Either way)
20		10	10	9	Take to the sea!
21
22		7	7	6	Get a house-boat and a pet manatee!
23		10	10	9	BETTER YET,
24		7	7	6	The shift in salinity and acidity could mean
25		10	10	9	an endless jelly-fish buffet
26		5	5	4	to keep a pet SEA TURTLE happy.
27					(No fish?!)
28		3	3	2	A billion coastal dweebs
29					Losing their source of protein.
30		5	5	4	They better get farming termite meat
31					Or grow a lot more soybeans
32
33		7	7	6	Hungry? Eat shit. Chicken?
34
35	3	3	2	0	Deadly genetic diversity adversity
36					at the meat factory
37		7	7	6	Perversely churning out the sickly
38					Until the mutant species collapse inevitably.
39	3	3	2	0	The death of caloric and irrigation inefficiency
40
41	5	5	4		Spoiled harvests / no grain.
42					Aquifers drained
43					Or pig shit-stained
44	3	3	4		Lush golf-courses every hydrologist’s bane
45					Setting the Amazon a-blaze
46	5	5	4		so cows can graze, ruminate
47					And flatulate a storm of methane.
48	8	8	7		As Mother nature's hot rage concentrates.
49
50					Like a… greenhouse? Huh!
51
52	7	7	6		It's too late.
53					Get jet-set.
54	3	3	2		Frequent-flyer bucket-list island-hop:
55	7	7	6		Hit every soon-to-be below-sea-level spot.
56					Visit every city that's one-hurricane-away
57	3	3	2		From never being seen again.
58	5	5	4		Or wait, and enjoy the new artificial reef.
59					Or visit mid-calamity when
60	3	3	2		each New-Atlantis is half-submerged
61					half-on the way to the scrap heap
62	5	5	4		After the traditional tropical storm-surge retreats.
63					Rebuilds and band-aids
64	8	8	6		And huge pay days from insurance companies.
65					Disasters a windfall for the NASDAQ,
66					Dow Jones, S&P, and the GDP.
67
68					Stuck on earth!
69
70	x	7	7	6	There's no escape: Mars sucks,
71		10	10	9	And our closest habitable neighbour is light-years away
72					And NASA only has capacity for a handful of nerds up in space.
73
74		7	7	6	As we wait for a celestial target, the quantum theory,
75		10	10	9	and the bank-breaking technology.
76		12	12	11	Generations of astronauts
77		12	12	11	Weren’t part of the spending spree
78		10	10	9	On the mutually-assured destruction
79		10	10	9	Defining the 20th century.
80
81					Hey Siri! Make me a billionaire off the coming climate catastrophe!
82
83	12				I'm talking sea-walls,
84					Historic-building relocation.
85	3				Entire-city foundation-elevation
86					Mammoth and Mastodon ivory.
87	12				Nuclear plants.
88	3				Carbon capture.
89					Cloud seeding.
90					Tundra re-freezing.
91					Volcanic black-out… teasing?
92					Trusting the entropy
93	5				Of flash-trading stocks and commodities
94					Machines algorhythmically
95					cheating at Risk and Monopoly
96	8				For endless Wars of Attrition's
97					And defensive porcupine strategy
98					Profitability.
99
100					*Siri-
