FOur children might know them
CBut their children will not

CAll new kinds of shows
AmWith acid seas rising
CTo kiss coastal mountains
AmBig cyclones pounding
CAnd firestorms devouring
AmAnd we'll lose track of counting
CAs the corpses keep mounting
CBut Amhey, that's just the way this old world Ggoes

CSleep, my country, sleep
CAs we Fsow so shall we Creap
