A message from the Goddess. Better listen.

lyrics

Come Now Children

How did this happen to you
It's true, you’ve gone insane
And yes, there's millions to blame
But if we play that game, it's such a shame
Melting ice caps, rising oceans,
Do you all know how to swim?
Don’t delay another moment
Or you’ll take it on the chin

Well, come, now, children
You know what you must do
Clean up the mess
Do the best that you can possibly do.

You’ll push me ‘round the bend
Straight to the end, ‘til I’ve nothing left but to
Send you all to your graves
When you’ve still time to save
Your sorry asses
It’s not really hard to fathom
Just how much this means to you
You yourselves are now the hazard
Look how much you have to lose

Come, now, children,
You know what you must do
Clean up the mess
Do the best that you can possibly do

'Tsk tsk, impossible task?
Why would I ask? If it were so
I give credit where due, now it’s up to you
It’s time to be true
Don’t try to fix someone else
Your concern should be yourself
You’ll be done before you know it
Then there’s treats, just don't blow it

Come, now, children,
You know what you must do
Clean up the mess
Do the best that you can possibly do.
