I’ve never seen the things that I’m seeing
I’ve never felt the feelings I’m feeling
Babies exploded how great is this party
Please make it make sense

We’ve never known how much we now know
We’ve never cheered this much for blood flow
Tanks crushing bodies is that the ring
No, I’m not coming to your thing

Women in prayer the next second martyred
Grey yellow faces whole families slaughtered
This is a song you’ll never want to sing
When you had a chance to do something

You are a disgrace to all I hold dear
You are embodied indifference and fear
Silence is blood on your hands, in your hair
You won’t wash it out

We’ve made a mess of this one special place
We had a chance to have sun on our face
Power is less than the weight of gold
When you can’t see worth of what you sold

Children in pieces raised like an offering
How can this be what I’m offering
This is a song you’ll never want to sing
When you could have done even one thing

I’ve never seen the things that I’m seeing
I’ve never felt the feelings I’m feeling

No, I’m Not Coming To Your Thing

New song written by HOLLY and Johnny for Episode 22 of MPR's science podcast, Brains On!

MAGMA IS HOT!

Volcanoes are everywhere
Some of them blow smoke in the air
Mount Saint Helens full of power
Spewing ash at 300 miles per hour

Other ones you might not see
Like Yellowstone, cause you’re looking at trees
But don’t worry, the scientists agree
The next time it goes you’ll be 10,003

Magma is HOT!

Most of them have funny names
Like one in Iceland I can’t say
Even the syllables hurt my head
So I decided to call it Bjork instead

Mauna Loa rhymes with Krakatoa
They both created massive lava flowahs
I was about to give up on Vesuvius
When my pal mimi exclaimed, lugubrious!
Which means melancholy or sad

Eyjafjallajökullakabjork

Mount Pelée collapsed in 1903
Almost as impressive as Nevado del Ruiz
Thera, Tambora put on quite a show
Pinatubo created massive mudflows

Volcanoes are everywhere
As hot as a super hot solar flare
Lightning, lahars, liquid earth crust
Stay out of the way or you’ll be covered in dust

Magma is HOT!
