Synister Dane and the Kickapoo Disco Cosmonuts: Music/Lyrics

Fossil Fools

(Parody of “Ring of Fire”, by June Carter/Merle Kilgore)
Let me sing a song for you
'bout methane gas and CO2
Burned as coal, oil or gas
Warms the earth like a house of glass

Chorus
Oh the greenhouse gas make the temperature go higher
When the ice caps melt then the situations dire
As we burn, burn, burn, those fossil fuels
We’re fossil fools

Burning corn, as ethanol
Is robbing Peter, to pay Paul
SUV’s suck gas like pigs
American cars, are too damn big

Oh the greenhouse gas make the temperature go higher
When the ice caps melt then the situations dire
gonna burn, burn, burn, those fossil fuels
We’re fossil fools (repeat)

Strip the land, and burn the coal
Make a bigger ozone hole
It’s an Inconvenient Truth
Flamingos nesting in Duluth

And, the greenhouse gas makes the temperatures go higher
When the ice caps melt, then the situations dire
As we burn, burn, burn, those fossil fuels
We’re fossil fools

Well, the greenhouse gas makes the temperature go higher
When the ice caps melt, then the situations dire
As we burn, burn, burn, those fossil fuels
We’re fossil fools

Well, the greenhouse gas makes the temperature go higher
When the ice caps melt, then the situations dire
As we burn, burn, burn, those fossil fuels
We’re fossil fools
We burn, burn, burn, those fossil fuels
We’re fossil fools, we’re fossil fools, we’re fossil fools
Colossol fools
