Donald Trump seems to think he can sign Mother Nature out of existence. When she refuses, he'll probably explain that he doesn't know her and she's not his type.
Lyrics
You Can’t Fight Mother Nature © 2/08/2025 by Cecilia A. Eng
CHORUS: Oh, you can’t fight Mother Nature With Executive Orders Your signature can’t change what’s in Your patriotic borders There is no way to sign away Minorities and genders We need health care and fair wages And liberty’s defenders
Well, the dinosaurs knew nothing Of that meteor’s existence But ignorance could not ensure That rock would keep its distance The church could make Copernicus Deny what he could view Still we orbit ‘round the sun Despite the lies they claimed were true (chorus)
You declare our friends and family Will nevermore exist But where there’s love, your pen cannot Ensure we won’t be missed You send your dogs to fire the folks Who don’t agree with you But fires and storms won’t disappear Despite the lies you strew. (chorus)
TAG: No, there is no way to sign away Minorities and genders We need health care and fair wages And liberty’s defenders
Comments
Very well written, so much truth with a cheeky twist. Such a classic 60's folk song vibe to it also. Tremendous.
Oh, I love this song so much. I found myself singing along to the chorus.
This is absolutely a Wednesday Lem song!! I hope we get to hear it at a circle at some point.
Perfect protest song! I love the lyrics, especially the way you tied in the ridiculousness of ignorance in the past.
A Wednesday Lem song for sure! You are amazing!
Old school protest song that gives me goosebumps. Well said. You're the Malvina Reynolds in this day and age. Love it.
Love this!
Oh, I really love this lyrics although it’s a serious topic of this song brought a smile to my face because it’s just so well thought out
Excellent song! Some day there will again be intelligent people in charge. No longer sure it will be in my lifetime.
