about

Landlocked Sailor is back with a new single, a tongue-in-cheek dystopian lullaby. Ben wrote this song while vacationing on the shores of Lake Michigan with his family. In the distance were the factories and power plants that are polluting the Great Lakes. Half the Bandcamp proceeds for this song from the month of December will be donated to Alliance for the Great Lakes (www.greatlakes.org). The Alliance for the Great Lakes is a nonpartisan nonprofit working across the region to protect our most precious resource: the fresh, clean, and natural waters of the Great Lakes.

lyrics

Did you hear there’s a nuclear winter coming for us all?
Did you know the end of the world’s when all great empires fall?

Nuclear winter it’s the new utopia
End of the world, do you hear me, Sofia?

Don’t you worry darlin’ we have a place to go
We’ll head up to Canada and watch our children grow

Did you know that the nuclear winter, if it’s comin’ true,
This old world will die for a heaven and earth that’s new?

Don’t you worry darlin’ we don’t have to stay
We can get on an aero-plane and leave later today

Do you face the end of the world cursing at the sky?
Put your head between your legs and kiss your ass goodbye

Don’t you worry darlin’ we have a plan to leave
We’ll go to the planet Mars and start new history
