The Dragon of Climate Change

Now streaming everywhere, and sung in all good taverns.

Lyrics

There once was a terrible dragon Whose name was climate change
He slept atop a mountain
As he’d done for an age

‘Til the king made the poor
mine the mount for gold
The dragon gave a scary roar
And out of bed he rolled

Lo! The dragon of climate change hath come
But slay the beast named greed and that dragon will be done

The king lied to the peasants
He blamed the dragon on them
And sold them pointless weapons
So he could casheth in

But when flames razed the town
The folk saw through his scheme
’tis a wood house the dragon burns
But not your stone keep

Lo! The dragon of climate change hath come
But slay the beast named greed and the dragon will be done

The king summoned a mage
He said would end this chapter
He promised a spell called
Direct Air Carbon Capture

It could keep the dragon away
While the gold forever grew
But soon they found out the mage
Was just the king’s court fool

Lo! The dragon of climate change hath come but
But slay the beast named greed and the dragon will be done

The people marched from town
On horse the king fled
The dragon saw his shiny crown
And barbecued his head

Folk shared the kingdom’s riches
So they had all they need
The dragon’s home was left alone
So he could get some sleep

Lo! The dragon of climate change was done.
But beware the beast named greed or he won’t gone for long
