I think this may be the first song I've listened to on SC that I literally laughed out loud at (in the appropriate and approving way). So comforting to hear about these enlightened proles.

How did I miss this. Well made razor humor for dark times.

Perfectly crafted with tons of wonderful personality. Love these brass highlights to accentuate the irony and critical message. A class track! Durge

I recall fmr US Sec of State went on BBC to explain that worst thing about Putin invading Ukraine was that it distracted him from warring against climate change.  There’s a verse for you, right out of the news.

Back for another listen....what a blast!!  I'm thinking AOC should hear this;....

Climate Change (The Only Thing That Worries Me)

There's a beggar
In the city
He walks on his bare feet
His wife lies sick in the gutter
His daughter works the streets
But the beggar doesn't worry about those things
Poverty almost makes him sing!
You might find it strange
But the only thing that worries him
Is the threat from climate change

There's a worker
From Bangladesh
Building houses in Qatar
Football stadiums and hotels
Rising up to reach the stars
But the scaffold gives way and that's the end
For our worker and thousands of his friends
You might find it strange
But on their minds as they fell to death
Was the threat from climate change

There's a family man
In China
He's a slave in a factory
Making lots of plastic stuff
That's shipped to you and me
And the sweatshop's open day and night
Who cares about workers' rights?
You might find it strange
But the only thing that worries him
Is the threat from climate change

Little brother
Walking home
You're now on CCTV
When you stop for a hot dog
The authorities can see
The police reads your life like an open book
But hey! We can't let terrorists off the hook...
You might find it strange
But the only thing that worries him
Is the threat from climate change

These new cars
They are so smart
They don't need energy
Just use the socket on your wall
And charge the battery
They drive by themselves in a long steely chain
It almost looks like (what's it called....?) a railroad train!
It's hard to believe, but it's true:
Electricity is a magic thing
That appears out of the blue!
