Tides are turning, fires burning, all across the land

Hustlers grinnin', hucksters spin and say they understand.

All across the whole creation fools are fueling devastation,

Achin' for their payouts from a world they set aflame



Chorus

Can you say that’s ok?

No Way!



Junk spamming, Trump scamming, every single day.

Gears jamming, doors slamming, block most every way.

Paradise burned to the ground, polar ice melting down

In a world of heave and hurry with heads buried in the sand.



Can you say that’s ok?

No Way!



Time’s flying, cons lying, right over the top.

Dripping spite and bigot blight that never seems to stop!

Snatching young ones from their folks, pass the buck and smirk and boast,

To serve those sharks and oligarchs who sold their souls away



Can you say that’s ok?

No Way!



Denial rules! Fakes and fools and charlatans of gold

Hail the lout who’s freaking out his story might get told.

Bag the money, hide the bucks and drag the country through the muck

And bring home lots more bacon for some bellyaching billionaires



Can you say that’s ok?

No Way!



Tons of cheats and Trumped up tweets, bringing this world down

Take your stand and lend a hand, to get it all turned 'round

Demagogues are running loose, dinosaurs rule the roost

And leave this world so much the worse with every dawning day.



Can you say that’s ok?

No Way!
