I can’t hear your stifled voices
Scrolling through Facebook
Looking for choices
They gave you the red pill
They gave you the blue
Stressed and confused
You don’t know what to do.
Put on the Green Light !
Put on the Green Light !
Greece is burning, so is California.
Sydney’s under water
Don’t say we didn’t warn ya.
They call it the Great Reset
I wasn’t even born yet.
When emissions started mounting.
The Midnight Clock began it’s counting.
Put on the Green Light.
The leaders of the world are out on the ledge
While the building is burning
They’re making a pledge
2030 , 2040 , take it to the edge
By 2050 halve emissions
If there’s anyone left.
The word on the street
Is there is No Word on the street
If you’re going to march
You need to get off your seat
Get on your feet.
Greta, I get her
Got her on my sweater,
Don’t go to school on Fridays
Make the environment better
Too much pollution
Need a solution
Get the kids together
Gonna start a revolution
Greta Greta Greta Greta
Greta Greta Thunberg !
Thunberg !
Get another iceberg
Cause the ones we got are melting
Take it to the streets
Angry words of youth be pelting
Inactive politicians listen up ! or cop a belting
Join in the fight !
Put on the Green Light !
Tell the Fossil Fuel fools 'Get Out !
They don’t know wrong from right.
We’re in Code Red !
Put on the Green light !
Get it into your head
We’re in the minutes to midnight.
It shouldn’t take a school girl from Sweden
To tell us that. Right ?
Fade out.
