Home Grown - Nature Will Have Her Way
Penny's gamba chorus backs the opening lyric of this mildly sarcastic take on humanity's likely-to-be-missed opportunity to save itself (from itself). And then, suddenly, a breezy groove fills the air while our messenger further describes the dire situation we find ourselves in. Along the way, sax, guitar, and chromatic harmonica features sweeten the gloom (does a spoonful of sugar really help the medicine go down?).

Lyric
Take my hand Turn down the gloom The doom of humanity May be coming soon It haunts you through and through And I won't tell you it's not true But there'll be time To suffer the pain When the floods and fires come Hurting everyone Last chance now for fun A little joy before we're done Because nature will have Something to say Nature will have her way At the end of the day We'll all be going away They can say The science is wrong Or a cure will surely come Saving everyone If only that were true You know they haven't got a clue But don't be sad Or too quick to blame The reign of humanity Was bound to end in calamity Human nature made it so And so it's time for us to go Because nature will have Something to say Nature will have her way At the end of the day We'll all be going away
