The Magic Fix

We'll soon have the technology
To turn CO2 to bubble tea
And oceans we've acidified
Will have the taste of apple pie

It's the magic fix we've been waiting for
We're decades off or maybe more from
The day they put a unicorn horn on your head

Coral reefs looking grey?
Blast them with a rainbow ray
Forests, wetlands, that we've lost?
Grow trees made of candy floss
Fish tangled in plastic waste?
Turn it into strawberry lace
Replace the glaciers with chocolate ice

By the time it comes it could be too late
But I guess we'll all just sit and wait for
The day they put a unicorn horn on your head

Barren land, once a lake?
Bake it into lemon cake
Animals gone extinct?
Resurrect them make them pink
Soil depletion, wilting crops?
Plant some magic lollipops
Turn the oil spills into magic goo

By the time it comes it could be too late
But I guess we'll all just sit and wait for
The day they put a unicorn horn on your head

But would that world be all that fun?
A world patched up with bubblegum
Is the answer before our eyes?
Not a pointy spike but just inside

Like not expanding gas and oil
Managing our land and soil
Power from the wind and sun
Powering the things we run
All the stuff that costs the earth?
We'll price them to reflect their worth
Then fossil fuel subsidies
Could fund some things we really need

Public transport? Could be free
Carbon capture? It's a tree
Grow food more efficiently
By eating plants for energy
Maybe value more than wealth?
Community or mental health?
Right the wrongs of time and space?
Sure why not... We may as well

A transformation's what we need
Not a phony pony fantasy like
The day they put a unicorn horn on your head

You're not a horse and it's not too late but
There's no time to sit and wait for
The day they put a unicorn horn on you head

Besides you might bang your horn getting out of bed
And people might try to hang coats on your head
