Wouldn't it be wonderful If we could save the world and all Simply by collecting up Tin cans and empty bottles We all want to believe it's true But it don't matter what you do So long as we continue to Burn our way through fossils Now it should come as no surprise To learn about the ocean's rise Polar caps are melting With every year that the planet warms Now people have to understand We're going to feel it far inland It's going to shift the seasons And super-charge the storms King tide is a-coming King tide is a-coming King tide is a-coming Bringing flooding on a sunny day King tide is a-coming Can't you hear the melt waters running? King time is a-coming Gonna to sweep everything away And you know The oceans they connect us all No one can just build a wall We have to work together We can't do this on our own To think that you can stand aside Is nothing more than foolish pride 'Cause everyone's a libertarian 'Til the brown water floods their home Now you may live on higher ground Feeling like you're safe and sound Thinking as you look around This is your lucky day But everyone beneath the sky Soon be looking for somewhere high and dry And nothing you can ever do Will keep them all at bay because The king tide is a-coming The king tide is a-coming The king tide is a-coming Bringing flooding on a sunny day King tide is a-coming Can't you hear the melt waters running? The king tide is a-coming Gonna to sweep everything away The king tide is a-coming We have to act today
