When Tyrants Rewrite the Forecast

🎶 When tyrants rewrite the forecast, the sirens don’t cry outThe maps go blank, the lines go dead, and no one hears the shout

[Verse 1]
The radar dome is dark tonight, the screens are running blind
Storm’s out there in the Gulf again, but no one’s got the time
The forecasters were furloughed, the warnings came too late
Another town goes under while the tyrants seal our fate

[Verse 2]
They gutted every agency that kept us safe and sound
Called it "efficiency," while they burned it to the ground
No science left in sight, just chaos in its place
And Mother Nature doesn’t wait while fools erase the base

[Chorus]
🎶 When tyrants rewrite the forecast, the sirens don’t cry out
The maps go blank, the lines go dead, and no one hears the shout
They sell off truth for power, leave the rest of us to drown
When tyrants rewrite the forecast, they’re burning cities down 🎶

[Verse 3]
NOAA’s bleeding talent, the data’s running dry
Weather balloons are grounded now, we watch the silence fly
They trade the common good for gold, dismiss the rising seas
While families lose their future in a storm they didn’t see

[Bridge]
And who gains from all this blindness, who profits from the fall?
The men who own the satellites, but never hear the call
They fear the truth of carbon, so they bury all the proof
And every hurricane they hide is one step from the truth

[Chorus]
🎶 When tyrants rewrite the forecast, the flood is not a fluke
It’s policy with purpose, dressed up in a business suit
They'd rather see destruction than admit they got it wrong
When tyrants rewrite the forecast, it's time to rise up strong 🎶

[Outro]
So call your reps, raise up your voice, don’t let the liars win
The storm is at the doorstep, let the reckoning begin
Truth once kept us safe and dry — now it's hanging by a thread
And when the forecasts fail again, count the wounded and the dead

🎶 When tyrants rewrite the forecast…
Don’t say we weren’t warned 🎶
