lyrics

Every 12 years they say we are all going to die
How many times before you realize it's just a lie
Another 12 years another false outcry
All they want to do is sway and vilify

In the year 1965
Sayin the weather changed
Became their battle cry
Claiming we're the ones to blame
But in 1987 the weather's the same

Another 12 years
And we're still here
Another 12 years
One thing's clear
Another 12 years
There's nothing to fear
Another 12 years
Let's have a beer

In the year 1999
Nothing's really changed
It's all been fine
12 years later in 2011
They're still using fear as their favorite weapon

Why would you ever believe Al Gore
The money grubbing scum steals from the poor
Oceans will rise by 2011
Just one more thing that never happened

I can just about guarantee
It'll be the same in 2023
They've cried wolf too many times
But somehow, they never pay for they're crime

In 2035
We'll all still be alive
Will we finally learn our lesson
in 2047
Will we end our obsession
When there is no Armageddon
