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

Excellent song! Some day there will again be intelligent people in charge. No longer sure it will be in my lifetime.

Very well written, so much truth with a cheeky twist. Such a classic 60's folk song vibe to it also. Tremendous.

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.

Old school protest song that gives me goosebumps. Well said. You're the Malvina Reynolds in this day and age. Love it.

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
