King Tide and the Sunny Day Flood Billy Bragg

Wouldn't it be wonderful
If we could save the world and all
Simply by collecting up
Tin cans and empty bottles

We all want to believe it’s true
But it don't matter what you do
So long as we continue to
Burn our way through fossils

Now it should come as no surprise
To learn about the ocean's rise
Polar caps are melting
With every year that the planet warms

Now people have to understand
We’re going to feel it far inland
It's gonna shift the seasons
And super-charge the storms

King Tide is a-comin'
King Tide is a-comin'
King Tide is a-comin'
Bringing floodin' on a sunny day

King Tide is a-comin'
Can't you hear the melt waters runnin’?
King Tide is a-comin’
Gonna sweep everything away
