The Storm

The crisis of the day for some is running out of spearmint gum 
Or not getting a hundred likes for a picture that you took
And posted yesterday on Facebook 
Meanwhile the planet’s getting warmer so they say
But there’s no more Game of Thrones and there’s no service on my phone and
That’s the crisis of the day

The crisis of the day for us 
is forsaking the Uber for the bus
Or running out of data cause of all those useful apps
That thrill us so before and after cat naps
Meanwhile the ice caps keep on melting come what may
But youtube’s running slow for this gringo on the go
And that’s the crisis of the day

Crisis! Crisis! If you think life is hard
Wait til there’s an ocean in your back yard
You think you’re woke because we know what Isis is 
You’ll find out soon enough what a true crisis is
Oh what will you do 
When your little world of illusions crashes down on you
And you can’t get back the life they gave ya
And Amazon and Google they won’t save ya  

The crisis of the day for me and yous
Is an orange clown who always makes the news
The Nimrod of the nation and his self-inflicted plight
Always seem to find the spotlight 
Meanwhile, the time for change just keeps slipping away
But there’s Trumps daily twitter trope of who he would and wouldn’t grope and
That’s the crisis of the day 
But youtube’s running slow for this gringo on the go
And that’s the crisis of the day
But there’s no more Game of Thrones and there’s no service on my phone and
That’s the crisis of the day

Complicated
