MC Lars, MC Frontalot, Beefy - Mendocino's Burning lyrics

Mendocino's burning and they blamed
It on the blockchain counting confirmations
Watching Cali going up in flames

(Mendocino's burning, Mendocino's burning)
Mendocino's burning and they blamed
It on the blockchain
(Counting confirmations
Counting confirmations)
Counting confirmations
Watching Cali going up in flames

I played San Francisco show
With I Fight Dragons
After the concert Shawn Fanning was having
A party on his rooftop, I was invited
You could see Marin and Oakland
I was hella excited i thanked Sean for an
Industry that he blessed
Because Napster was our
Generation's Gutenberg press


They say Fanning flipped the domino
That toppled the tower
Peer-to-peer file sharing had a lot of power
In the way hе
Decentralized music distribution
Satoshi lookеd at finance had
A similar solution
But where will we be in 2023?
Counting confirmations
Rising seas are all I see
Can we fix our mistakes if we
Switch to proof of stake?
And if I mint an NFT
Will global warming escalate?
As I'm sitting in my
Scraper watching California fires
Is this Ledger that I'm holding
Sending carbon levels higher?

(Mendocino's burning, Mendocino's burning)
Mendocino's burning and they blamed
It on the blockchain
(Counting confirmations
Counting confirmations)
Counting confirmations
Watching Cali going up in flames

You know our math is brilliant
‘cause you can’t understand it
Got you thinking that our Ponzi
Scheme will benefit the planet
As our value gets remanded to
The custody of orbit
Every speculator took a look
And they adored it you can floor it what’s
One person’s gas burning, anyway?
Drop inside a bucket soar before we plummet
The landing? See
We stuck it bounce like a springboard
Up could go forever
Don’t you think? And you could bring more
Friends with you next time, or if you run out
Try some internet strangers
Fill them with doubt
How all the criticisms they’ve been
Hearing are the first clue
That someone’s keeping secret how all
That stuff is reverse-true!
In fact, we’re good for the climate
We’re just helping
We’ll probably cure poverty on
Accident or something
And it doesn’t matter if
Our interests seem opaque
Set it all on fire anything less is a mistake

(Mendocino's burning, Mendocino's burning)
Mendocino's burning and they blamed
It on the blockchain
(Counting confirmations
Counting confirmations)
Counting confirmations
Watching Cali going up in flames

Adam Smith said that man is
An animal that bargains
A "Captain of Industry" who
Saw a global market
Look, but maybe crypto could
Incentive green energy
Excess wind and solar could
Be utilized potentially

Yes, right! Electricity no-one’s using
We’ll use that
We’ll leverage the potential energy of
Swelled heads in loose hats
We’ll tell feds they can move fast
Or get left behind with their
Fiat when we move past

And wait, hold up, do you hear that sound?
A deflationary asset might
Cut consumption down

Deflation’s fantastic
It’s like free interest on our hoard
And the best part is you
Can’t participate if you’re poor

But the corporate elite likes
How everything is now
Mainstream media is dying try to
Block the blockchain somehow

Sure, there’s no shortage of villains
In our current dystopia
But fire season’s open, and you’re
Coping, so here’s hoping, y'all

(Mendocino's burning, Mendocino's burning)
Mendocino's burning and they blamed
It on the blockchain
(Counting confirmations
Counting confirmations)
Counting confirmations
Watching Cali going up in flames

The rise of Greta definitely not accident
What mother nature needed
A champion of environment
If she was my daughter
There's no way I could be prouder
Went to battle against power and
Then won every encounter
And she's representing for the future we need
Where we doing things for others instead
Of do it for greed
All it takes to make a difference
Is be willing to join that's the point
And i'm sorry
This is supposed to be about Bitcoin?
