lyrics

WHO WILL SAVE THE HUMANS?

The lion laughed at the chimpanzee
Who was solemnly stroking his chin
Shhh, said the king snake, order please
It's time for us to begin

Redwood welcomed honored friends
Moss and lichen and worm
Owl read the agenda
As the council opened its term

Who will save the humans?

We've warned them all, canary said
They won't wake up, cried the cock
They need more sleep, sighed panda bear
They're wound up tight as a clock

They don't think ahead, turtle said
They have no perception of time
They lie in their own waste, said the dog
But you know they're friends of mine

Who will save the humans?
Who will save the humans?
When they beach themselves again and again
On every shoal of shifting sand
Who will save the humans?

Who who who?

They're hypnotized, spider said
By idols and ideals
Flags and gods and owning things
Guns and automobiles

We can't save them, wailed the whales
If they keep on acting this way
Net the last fish, cut the last tree
For a lousy dollar today

Who will save the humans?
Who will save the humans?
When they beach themselves again and again
On every shoal of shifting sand
Who will save the humans?

Who who who?

about

Patrick Regan Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, France

A songwriter and singer, I'm handy enough to be a one-man band but lucky enough to rope in great collaborators: Andy Goessling, Dave Pegg, Dave Mattacks, John Andrews, Shannon Anderson, and more.

This is one place I'm preserving and publishing the best of my songs. Look for new releases here throughout 2024.
