Burning Denial (This Is Fine) Video (MV)

Flames of waspwood fills the air
Aa dog sits calmly in his chair
With a smile and a cup of joe
He says the words we've come to know
In a world that's burning down
This cartoon dog wears no frown
Sipping coffee, feeling grand
As chaos reigns across the land
This is fine, everything's okay
That's what we tell ourselves each day
Ignoring signs of our demise
This meme has opened up our eyes
From politics to climate change
Our world's becoming ever strange
But like the dog, we sit and smile
Pretending all is fine meanwhile
This is fine, everything's okay
That's what we tell ourselves each day
Ignoring signs of our demise
This meme has opened up our eyes
In a world that's burning down
This cartoon dog wears no frown
Sipping coffee, feeling grand
As chaos reigns across the land
This is fine, everything's okay
That's what we tell ourselves each day
Ignoring signs of our demise
This meme has opened up our eyes
From politics to climate change
Our world's becoming ever strange
That's what we tell ourselves in lies
This meme has opened up our eyes
From politics to climate change
Our world's becoming ever strange
But what we tell ourselves in lies
This meme has opened up our eyes
K.C. Green drew this scene
Not knowing it would turn serene
A commentary on our times
How we normalize our crimes
To test ourselves against our home
This planet that we call our own
We sit in rooms engulfed in fire
Pretending that the stakes are dire
Classrooms, offices, and streets
This meme with our denial meets
A shorthand for our collective state
As we hurtle towards our fate
This is fine, everything's okay
That's what we tell ourselves each day
Ignoring signs of our demise
This meme has opened up our eyes
From politics to climate change
We use these words as our veil
A shield against reality
The comfort in fatality
But in this meme, we see ourselves
Our problems, we put on high shelves
Pretending they will go away
If we ignore them day by day
This is fine, everything's okay
That's what we tell ourselves each day
Ignoring signs of our demise
This meme has opened up our eyes
There's soft notes now, but still he grins
Denial's where the joke begins
A mirror to our own blindness
It's shades that we must mind-blitz
So let us learn from this wise dog
To see beyond the burning fog
Face our problems brave and true
And make a world that's really new
This is fine, everything's okay
That's what we tell ourselves each day
Ignoring signs of our demise
This meme has opened up our eyes
As such, it's calmly we've elated
But now it's time we navigated
This isn't fine, let's make it clear
And build a future we hold dear
