The Magic Fix

We'll soon have the technology To turn CO2 to bubble tea And oceans we've acidified Will have the taste of apple pie It's the magic fix we've been waiting for We're decades off or maybe more from The day they put a unicorn horn on your head Coral reefs looking grey? Blast them with a rainbow ray Forests, wetlands, that we've lost? Grow trees made of candy floss Fish tangled in plastic waste? Turn it into strawberry lace Replace the glaciers with chocolate ice By the time it comes it could be too late But I guess we'll all just sit and wait for The day they put a unicorn horn on your head Barren land, once a lake? Bake it into lemon cake Animals gone extinct? Resurrect them make them pink Soil depletion, wilting crops? Plant some magic lollipops Turn the oil spills into magic goo By the time it comes it could be too late But I guess we'll all just sit and wait for The day they put a unicorn horn on your head But would that world be all that fun? A world patched up with bubblegum Is the answer before our eyes? Not a pointy spike but just inside Like not expanding gas and oil Managing our land and soil Power from the wind and sun Powering the things we run All the stuff that costs the earth? We'll price them to reflect their worth Then fossil fuel subsidies Could fund some things we really need Public transport? Could be free Carbon capture? It's a tree Grow food more efficiently By eating plants for energy Maybe value more than wealth? Community or mental health? Right the wrongs of time and space? Sure why not... We may as well A transformation's what we need Not a phony pony fantasy like The day they put a unicorn horn on your head You're not a horse and it's not too late but There's no time to sit and wait for The day they put a unicorn horn on you head Besides you might bang your horn getting out of bed And people might try to hang coats on your head
