*Climate Killer* by XOEarth Stele is a parody of *Psycho Killer* by Talking Heads, David Byrne, Chris Frantz and Tina Weymouth.

Our ailing planet could suffer a deadly ecological system[s] failure within three years – say some climate scientists. Help our planet stay healthy so we can keep having fun. Work ecologically. Travel ecologically. Eat ecologically. Donate ecologically. Play ecologically.

I [can] see the Earth die but it’s a fact
A7 G
I sell deadly products and then I relax
A7 G
I sleep just fine while my Earth’s on fire
A7 G
Don’t leave me, I need another buyer

(Then comes seven beats of A and one beat of G, played twice.)
(You can emphasize these any way you like, really–I usually play)
(the A’s as A lock-step march, then do kind of jangle with the G.)

[A] Say something once, why say it again [G]

[Chorus]

(There is A four-note descending bass riff over the [ch]Bm[/ch] and C, played
twice in each key, but I try to keep it simple during periods when
my hands and mouth have to move at the same time)

[Interlude]

[[ch]Bm[/ch]] Ce que j’ai fait, ce soir [C] la (What I did that night)
[[ch]Bm[/ch]] Ce qu’elle A dit, ce soir [C] la (What she said that night)

[A] I close my eyes on this sunny day [G]
[A] Say something once, why say it again [G]
