Sympathy for The Devil from Tennessee

Please allow me to introduce myself:
I’m a man of wealth and fame.
I made a movie everyone’s seen
About the cause of climate change.

I made a bundle off of all the lies;
When they’re revealed it’ll be too late.
I show it all around the world and say
There’s no more time left for debate.

Pleased to meet you,
Hope you guess my name.
But what’s puzzling you is the
Nature of my game.

I was there when they passed cap and trade
And I shouted out with glee.
I was counting all the carbon credits
And the money flowing to me.

I received a Nobel Prize for Peace,
And acclaim from Hollywood.
All the while, I’m raking in dough
And pretending to be good.

Pleased to meet you,
Hope you guess my name.
But what’s puzzling you is the
Nature of my game.

Just imagine the waters rising
Covering islands in the sea.
Just imagine malaria spreading
And people dying in the heat.

Think about the polar bears dying
From the loss of polar ice.
Don’t you agree that it’s mankind’s fault?
Say, “Yes,” and don’t think twice.

Pleased to meet you,
Hope you buy my line.
I’m not surprised that you’re scared;
It works every time.

One thing alone concerns me now,
A minor little flaw.
It’s that the earth’s been cooling off,
And the poles refuse to thaw.

I’ve got to make my money quick
Before the people are awakened.
I’ve got to get out of Dodge real soon
Before they see they’ve all been taken.

Pleased to meet you,
Guess you know by now.
I’ve been playing you, and I’ve
Got my millions now.

(Fade out…
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Turn off that microphone.
No, there’s no more debate.
Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Don’t care about the science now,
The data’s all erased.
Ooh, ooh. Ooh, ooh.
Fingers in my ears,
I can’t hear you….)
