Break in Case of Emergency© (explicit)
Verse
Sunny days
Breezy ways
Picket fences
Big spenders
No One
Watching
One hand
Applauding
No one hears
Nature crying
Fossil fuels
Fossil fools
Frogs swimming
Water warm
Early warning
Wet alarm
Chorus
Break in Case of Emergency
Break in Case of Emergency
Break in Case of Emergency
Blues for Today
It’s the Blues for Today
Verse
Comfort addiction
Hunger for oil
Uncanny Valley
Recoil
Invent a problem
Design a patch
Pavlov
Learned helplessness
Sky is still blue
Sun is red
What is true
Eyes are deaf
All the rain
All the fire
Dessert cracks
No snow caps
Chorus
Break in Case of Emergency
Break in Case of Emergency
Break in Case of Emergency
Blues for Today
It’s the Blues for Today
Instrumental Break
Verse (spoken)
Tin men in shiny shoes, congregating in tall towers
Iron eyes are alert, piercing, empty reflection, darkening hope
They miss the tannin of burning toast
All the while the decent compass is pointing south
Verse (melody)
Children wake
One by one
Small drips
Now a flood
Blame the victim
Let’s change the system
Pass the buck
We are fucked
(We are stuck)
Chorus
Break in Case of Emergency
Break the Case
It's an Emergency
Break the Case
It's an Emergency
Blues for Today
It’s the Blues for Today
Outro
Break
Break the Case
We’ve got ourselves an emergency
