Walking On Thin Ice Lyrics - Mdc

The times they are changing but it's really the same old thing 

Now all the species are fading fast and it's the blue bird's last chance to sing 

And that we don't have to surrender, let those scumbags and let them have their way 

And it's really worse than that but we have already had a terrible day 

Did you hear about the polar bears are in trouble they're out walking on thin ice? 

No more blue whales I guess that's really not too nice 

And remember that cute girl she came to town and became a junkie so quick? 

She hangs out at a clinic and she's always looking sick 

She had big dreams once but they all sort of melted away 

Now she's just hanging around trying to make it day to day 

Hey and the rainforests are all gone, I guess that's kinda' sad 

Weather keeps changing, that's not good, it's rather bad 

Black horned rhinos seem like old long lost friends 

Silver back gorillas are right near their end 

Illnesses that could have been cured by plants are now all long gone 

Still the darkest hour is the one before the dawn 

And we're all working hard, right above minimum wage 

Waiting for fifteen minutes and a friendly stage 

Mr. President looks serious, I guess we need some more wars 

The FOX news lady says we got old issues to score 

Momma's watching TV and praying there's no knock on the door 

A patriot for his country, warnings that he chose to ignore 

Smug politicians and movie stars all pose so tragically hip 

Rearranging furniture on this sinking ship
