Cry, sis! Cry, brother!
Cry out! Cry loud!
Cry wild and hot
With the crying crowd!
Crisis!
Nuclear winter and acid rain?
This world? It's goin' down the drain!
Warming? Cooling? A silent spring!
Whatever it is, it's threatening!
Cry, sis! Cry, brother!
Cry out! Cry loud!
Cry wild and hot
With the crying crowd!
People? Too many! The world's lost!
Oh, what horror! Oh, what cost!
Fiscal meltdown! The perfect storm!
Each crisis will come with frightening form!
Some Club of Rome that limits growth?
A credit collapse? Or maybe both!
Rearrange the deck chairs on a sinking ship,
'Cause a crisis is so hot and yet very hip!
Crisis!
Cry, sis! Cry, brother!
Cry out! Out loud!
Cry wild and hot
With the crying crowd!
Crashes are coming! The end time nears!
One of these things should stir your fears!
Grab your crying towel and weep!
Apocalypse comes! Come shed those tears!
Cry, sis! Cry, brother!
Cry out! Out loud!
Cry wild and hot
With the crying crowd!
