8. CO2
// April 6th, 2009 // Writing On The Wall
An upbeat country song with lyrics about climate buffs shouting about the horror of carbon dioxide. I guess it reveals my view on things. That’s ok, I don’t mind sticking it to the hysterical climate prophets who have turned awareness and scientific research into an obnoxious religious movement.
Hasse Johnzon is ripping some pretty cool twang lines out of his huge library of licks, counterpointed by the steel guitar, which he also plays, as well as the bass guitar. Janne Hedlund pounds out a steady beat as usual, and Robert Wirensjö delivers some honky tonk piano.

CO2
(Jana Persson)
Anytime I read the news
Anytime I hear the furnace kicking on
Anytime I start the car
Anytime I feel the gasses coming on
Something inside me sighs – It’s CO2
Something inside me breathing out – It’s CO2
For a while I joined the train
For a while I joined the holiest crusade
For a while I was in awe
For a while almost believed the prophets saying
Something inside me sighs – It’s CO2
Something inside me breathing out – It’s CO2
Be aware of simple truths
Be aware that you’ll be hung to dry
Once they change their minds
Sad to see it going down
Biting off too much will choke your breath
Why not stick to what is known
Lose the righteousness
Cause who knows what is right
For a while I joined the train
For a while I joined the holiest crusade
For a while I was in awe
For a while almost believed the prophets saying
Something inside me sighs – It’s CO2
Something inside me breathing out – It’s CO2
Be aware of simple truths
Be aware that you’ll be hung to dry
Once they change their minds
