Oh, I'll put one final one up. This is loosely based on the combined themes of the titanic disaster and global warming, from the point of view of an iceberg. A psychotic iceberg, no less.

UNDER THE WAVES

Oh, when I was young
I was not afraid of the rays of the sun
But the sky grew smoggy and warm
Now from my wintery home I have been torn

From my iceshelf I have been cast
I may appear small, but under the surface I'm vast
I have great momentum, it comes hand in hand with my mass
So whales do their best to avoid me every time that I float past
My cold, lonely heart it is beating all alone (lone, lone)
Under the waves

In the middle of this ocean I am so alone
And bitter towards you humans who caused me to drift from my home
Industrial global warming caused me to melt
For the weeks that I have been floating this anger is all I have felt

From my ice shelf I have been cast
I may appear small but under the surface I'm vast
Now I am planning to take my revenge at last
I shall find a big passenger ship and float into its path
Then listen to them gurgle as they fall (fall, fall)
Under the waves

The evil of an iceberg
So deadly yet so still
It will come for your family
It doesn't care how many it kills

From my ice shelf I have been cast
I may appear small but under the surface I'm vast
Now I am planning to take my revenge at last
I shall find a big passenger ship and float into its path
Then listen to them gurgle as they fall (fall, fall)
Under the waves
