Men with Day Jobs: Stafford Sanders, Rod Crundwell and Kim Constable, 2011
You say the planet’s warming, but I’m convinced it’s not
Last Tuesday it was rather cool, today it’s not so hot
And if it’s getting hotter, I’m sure it’s not by much
It’s prob’ly due to sunspots, volcanoes or some such
Or maybe it’s the Chinese, that make more smoke than us
I know there’s many more of them, so let them catch the bus
One thing I am sure of, no need to make a fuss
Fire up those smoky chimneys and sing
Denial. I’m in denial
Don’t talk to me of independent studies or scientific trial
I’m in denial, deep in denial
And as the waters rise around me I’ll just hold my breath and say
it isn’t so
I call myself a skeptic, and I believe it’s so
I’m skeptical of anything: I just don’t wanna know
Don’t give me C S I R O or I P C C
I want some wacky viscount with an architect’s degree
He says it’ was much hotter X million years ago
I know that killed the dinosaurs but they were rather slow
It’s just a lot of scientists that think they’re in the know
But I know I know better, let’s sing
Denial. I’m in denial
When I see those econazis, I raise my arm and shout Sieg Heil!
I’m in denial …
Those fires are not raging. No floods deluge the land
Those hurricanes and tornadoes are just flashes in the pan
The animals are doing fine: no species dying out
And half the bloody climate isn’t choking in drought
The ice is not receding, from either polar cap
I’d go with Tony Abbott, It’s just a load of crap
This roundtheworld disaster is an evil greedy trap
‘Cause everybody knows the world is flat
Denial …
..As the waters rise around me I’ll just hold my breath and say glug glug glug
