Red Smoke

Red smoke, the wool's been pulled
The dust won't settle
Red smoke, the fools still rule
The screaming kettles

We're numb to the norm
Every year it's clear that
It ain't gonna disappear
It ain't some passing storm we can hide from

Red smoke, the wool's been pulled
The dust won't settle
Red smoke, the fools still rule
The screaming kettles

Not the only ones stuck in a bubble of terror
Watching them make all the errors
Like a kid with a magnifying glass
Each summer is getting hotter than the one before

Red smoke, go away heatwave
You're all around, north to the south
Red smoke, go away heatwave
You're burning down
Our leaders are dumbfounded again

The answer, plain as day
The answer, plain as day
Drastic measures, must be made
Before we incinerate

Red smoke, the wool's been pulled
The dust won't settle
Red smoke, the fools still rule
The screaming kettles

Red smoke, go away heatwave
You're all around, north to the south
Red smoke, go away heatwave
You're burning down
Our leaders are dumbfounded again
