LYRICS
We know darkness will descend
Precisely as the signs portend
When all but three percent of scientists say
we should have taken action yesterdaya collision of corporate greed against the earthour social dearth
and it confounds the science.

There’s air pollution overload
from life in fossil fuel mode
And while solutions are within our sight
We’re doing nothing to avoid the plight
A catastrophe like we’ve never seen before
stands at the door
and it confounds the science

Extermination of the bee
where once ten thousand now there’s three
they’re disappearing at a rapid clip“I don’t use honey,” all the morons quip waitWe should remind ourselves that without bees there’s no food
and we’ll be screwedand it confounds the science

Our cancer rates are through the roofas to the cause there’s never proof
the chemicals that we spray on our foodand other toxins that we’ve gladly chewedthe consequences of our choices we minimizeyet supersize
wait and we confound the science
And the people bowed and prayed
to the money god they madeWhile the earth is flashing its warningabout disaster that we are forming
We argue back and forth over meaningless issues that we fabricate
til it’s too late
and even then it confounds the science.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE ORIGINAL SONG - Sound of Silence by Simon and Garfunkel

The Sound of Silence was released in 1964 on Simon & Garfunkel's first album release, Wednesday Morning, 3 A.M. The Album was a flop and only sold around two thousand copies. The song had been written a year earlier and the duo had ample opportunity to hone and perfect it before they recorded it. After the album failed the duo split up. Paul Simon relocated in Great Britain and Garfunkel went back to college.

A year later, inspired by the Byrds’ version of "Mr. Tambourine Man" (a Dylan song), Wilson, the producer of the Simon & Garfunkel album decided to release The Sound of Silence again with some amped up guitar parts. This new version was an instant hit. The two got together back in the States and set out to create a follow-up hit, which they did, with "I am a Rock." Both songs were released on an album titled "Sounds of Silence" in 1965.
