lyrics

NATO bullyboys in the Arctic, playing war games, seeking truffles--keeping tabs on any Inuit they intuit to be trouble
Melting ice, no more obstructions: platforms rise above the sea seeking fossil hydrocarbons; seeking death by entropy
Spanish dreams of Asian bounty; copper-sheathéd Viking boats--In weather calm you can sometimes see Sir John Franklin’s screaming ghost/The Northwest Passage calls to all who seek her bounteous offshore favors/The Grand Game with modified rules, but most of the traditional players/The melting Permafrost emits both CO2 and CH4--wildfire, dancing peasants, queues in front of Apple stores/Waves engulf us as we’re texting “WTF?” and “LOL”--While submerging, we’re uploading selfies of our drowning selves
