(Verse 1 - Male)
Out in the fields where the wind turbines spin,
Bill was hollerin' 'bout the end comin' in.
Billions poured in to save the whole world,
From meltin' ice caps and storms unfurled.
He wrote that book, said disaster's at hand,
Gotta go green or we're losin' the land.
(Verse 1 - Female)
Yeah, he built that fund, Breakthrough on the rise,
Investin' in tech under clear blue skies.
Carbon capture, solar dreams so grand,
Fightin' the fever scorchin' the sand.
He preached to the nations, urgent and true,
Net-zero or nothin', that's what we'd do.
(Chorus - Duet)
But oh, Bill flipped, what a turnaround,
From doomsday preacher to feet on the ground.
Said climate ain't killin' us, no end in sight,
Just adapt and thrive, it'll be alright.
Bill flipped, pulled back from the fray,
Welfare over weather, that's the new play.
What happened to the fire, the billions you spent?
Bill flipped, and the world's wonderin' where it went.
(Verse 2 - Male)
Now in his memo, October's chill air,
He says it's manageable, no need to despair.
Forget the emissions, the zero by fifty,
Focus on folks, make their lives a bit nifty.
Staff cuts at Breakthrough, policy on hold,
AI's eatin' power, story's retold.
(Verse 2 - Female)
He calls it a pivot, optimistic and bright,
Warming won't wipe us out in the night.
From alarm bells ringin' to a softer tune,
Poverty's the monster under the moon.
But critics are whisperin', is it all for show?
Profits from data centers stealin' the glow.
(Bridge - Duet)
Was it the science or the bottom line call?
Green premiums fadin', empires could fall.
You built the machine, now you're shiftin' the gear,
Trust in the message, or is it just fear?
Humanity's welfare, yeah that sounds fine,
But don't let the urgency fade with time.
(Chorus - Duet)
Oh, Bill flipped, what a turnaround,
From doomsday preacher to feet on the ground.
Said climate ain't killin' us, no end in sight,
Just adapt and thrive, it'll be alright.
Bill flipped, pulled back from the fray,
Welfare over weather, that's the new play.
What happened to the fire, the billions you spent?
Bill flipped, and the world's wonderin' where it went.
(Outro - Duet, fading)
Bill flipped... yeah, he flipped... oh, Bill flipped...
