about

The Demise of Bill Nye was recorded at Second Hand Studios in Appleton, Wisconsin and features Chris Pandolfi from grammy-winning artist The Infamous Stringdusters. The track is by far the most politically speculative writing by the band that blends genres such as funk, bluegrass, and rock. It is a catchy tune that will no doubt get stuck in your head and lead you to yearn for more after just one listen.

lyrics

The average American adult stares at a screen for 10 hours and 45 min per day
The minimum wage hasn't been raised in over 10 years
Scientists tell us we have less than 12 years to transform our energy systems into fossil fuels or the damage will be irreparable.
Climate change is not a hoax!

In the epoch of fake news the puppet master dictates the truth
what information do you choose?
Choice is a farce choice is a farce
our brothers and sisters were set up to loose

cell towers erect, protect yourself with tinfoil hats
looking for an identity? let's take the best selfie
snap photos of cute cats!

Who's controlling the weather?
who's contaminating water?
I'm no Russian spy, I grew up on Bill Nye
x2

Steroids in the beef, fluoride in tap!
pollution destroys the barrier reef soon nothing left on the map
politician, lobbyist, corruption communist
fire in the rainforest
likes and follows, thoughts and prayers
the world's going mad and no one seems to care!

Are we just giving up?
Is this all we have left?
tomorrow are we going to drown in a great flood?
or will our crops run dry?
is the government going to kill us?
are aliens coming down?
what's going to happen next?
time will tell! you have the choice!
talk is cheap! stand up for what's right!

Has the world lost its heartbeat?
humanity's on its last thread
politics might as well be dead!
intellect's learned on your online thread!
