Subject: ADD: Confounds the Science (2) (Don Caron)
Now there's a sequel:
CONFOUNDS THE SCIENCE (Part 2) (Written by Don Caron – Music by Simon & Garfunkel)
We know darkness will descend Precisely as the signs portend When all but three percent of scientists say we should have taken action yesterday a collision of corporate greed against the earth our social dearth and it confounds the science.
There’s air pollution overload from life in fossil fuel mode And while solutions are within our sight We’re doing nothing to avoid the plight A catastrophe like we’ve never seen before stands at the door and it confounds the science
Extermination of the bee where once ten thousand now there’s three they’re disappearing at a rapid clip “I don’t use honey,” all the morons quip We should remind ourselves that without bees there’s no food and we’ll be screwed and it confounds the science
Our cancer rates are through the roof as to the cause there’s never proof the chemicals that we spray on our food and other toxins that we’ve gladly chewed the consequences of our choices we minimize yet supersize
and we confound the science
And the people bowed and prayed to the money god they made While the earth is flashing its warning about disaster that we are forming We argue back and forth over meaningless issues that we fabricate til it’s too late and even then it confounds the science.
NOTES
This video is being posted on August 16th, 2018, exactly a year since the first video was posted to the Parody Project Channel . . . and the first video was Confounds the Science (Parody of Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel) which is still the most popular video we’ve done, with the Twelve Days of Trump’s Mess running a close second.
So I thought it would be fun and appropriate to post a sequel to Confounds the Science today, on the first anniversary of Parody Project. Maybe it’ll be an annual event, since there seems to be plenty of material that “confounds the science,” and that probably won’t change.
