The Lyrics
I'm taking a tea-break from my usual frivolity with this one...unless we act NOW, I guarantee we'll be singing songs like this in less than fifty years...
And now, the time has come
We were too lax with CFCing
We're trapped, slaves to the sun
Our ozone shield: almost ceased being
We lived life to the max
Treated this earth in such a poor way
Now look at the effects-
Deserts in Norway
No more majestic trees
No summer breeze, just air conditioning
We watch the rising seas
The irony is there's no fishing
Our homes, now prison cells
So what the hell's the use of more pay?
We see on the TV
Deserts in Norway
Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew
We said we'd change and start anew
But we adored that big deep freeze
And drivin' round in SUVs
We liked it hot, so now we've got
Deserts in Norway
The world went up in smoke
Much quicker than we all expected
We thought it was a joke
We were so sure we'd be protected
To think we did all that
Big homo saps' consumer orgay
Say it isn't fact
Deserts in Norway
For what is a man? What has he got?
If not this rock, then not a lot
It's far too late, we're truly f***ed
It's pointless now to pass the buck
Now Greenland's brown, the UKdrowned
Deserts in Norway
We were too lax with CFCing
We're trapped, slaves to the sun
Our ozone shield: almost ceased being
We lived life to the max
Treated this earth in such a poor way
Now look at the effects-
Deserts in Norway
No more majestic trees
No summer breeze, just air conditioning
We watch the rising seas
The irony is there's no fishing
Our homes, now prison cells
So what the hell's the use of more pay?
We see on the TV
Deserts in Norway
Yes there were times, I'm sure you knew
We said we'd change and start anew
But we adored that big deep freeze
And drivin' round in SUVs
We liked it hot, so now we've got
Deserts in Norway
The world went up in smoke
Much quicker than we all expected
We thought it was a joke
We were so sure we'd be protected
To think we did all that
Big homo saps' consumer orgay
Say it isn't fact
Deserts in Norway
For what is a man? What has he got?
If not this rock, then not a lot
It's far too late, we're truly f***ed
It's pointless now to pass the buck
Now Greenland's brown, the UKdrowned
Deserts in Norway

good parody, Kristof
If the floods wipe out D.C., it'll be worth it.
Powerful words, Kristof. I think you should send this to some ecology organization. 5's
Brilliant, Kristof.
DKTOS, but I can't see how this is funny ( no vote ).
I don't know if it holds true nowadays but already back in the 80s Norway was the number 2 country in the world when it came to exporting camels. At least that's what I was told by the papers when I grew up.
