lyrics

1958
The year the skies went silent
An ominous sign to be observed
She asked the question
Of what killed all the birds?
Found the answers and told the world

Canary in the coal mine
A warning just in time
Canary in the coal mine
Poisoned by pesticides
And her call created lasting change

Generations later
Bird populations
Have dropped by billions
But the slow death is our own
We’ve asked the question
How can we stop climate change?
But contradictory voices
Drown out a dying cry

We forget
We accept
We move on
With no regrets
The slow passing of time
Makes change look benign
Skewed by our recency bias
Instead of trusting the science

As climate deniers
Change their approach
From deny to delay
To prolong their gains
Powerful industry lobbies
Protecting fossil fuels
PR campaigns designed to confuse
And green wash the truth
The science is there
For those who choose to look
Memory fades
Oblivious day to day
The slippery slope
Of melting icecaps
All leading back
to the same evidentiary truth

Listen to the birds

Canary in the coal mine
Once again the warning comes
Listen to the birds
(But we no longer listen)
Listen to the earth
(But we no longer listen)
Listen to the youth
Listen to the evidence
