Lyrics
The river has run dry
there's no relief today for this thirsty plain
the reservoir sighs
echoing the man's entreaties for some rain
The irony is killing
as he fashions fences round his land
the land he could be tilling
needs protecting from the flood of sand

It's not as if we just don't know.
It's just that we don't care.

Alerts are turning red
the bastard child is fed
the petrol head is dying
Each day the planet turns
another country burns.
Save the tears they're crying.

It's a Seminole problem
sitting pretty on the spoil
it's an automotive monster
that's getting hard to foil
and when the dust bowl swamps your field again
you'll soon be drilling
for water not for oil.

It's not as if we just don't know.
It's just that we don't care.

Alerts are turning red
the bastard child is fed
the petrol head is dying
Each day the planet turns
another country burns.
Save the tears they're crying.

Uncomfortably Dumb...
is what we are and this song is appropriately dark and bleak for that message.

Nice work, Dennis. ;)

Good one, Sir D.

Yep...
...it's welcome to the machine meets Bowie and all sorts of classic Brit Rock sounds happening - and that's no bad thing.

You have knack for writing a classic pop tune - and lyrically this is top notch. I'm enjoying your stuff already - welcome to MacJams.
