The Lyrics

It is time to make a change
So wake up, it is crucial
You’re unaware, that's not your fault
There's so much that you should know
Understand, It’s a fact
We know the planets warming
Form a plan, and we can still restore it

I was once like you are now
And I know that it's not easy
To believe Mother Earth is in danger
But take your time, think a lot
Think of everything you've got
For your children will be here tomorrow
But in 60 years they may not

How can I try to explain?
When scientists do they turn away again
It's always been the same, same old story
From the time that they polluted,
Fossil-fuel interests lobbied hard
Now there's a way and I know that I have to try and say
I know I have to say

It is time to make a change
We can’t all move to where it’s cooler
If you’re young, you have a stake
There’s so much more fire that could ensue
Understand, it’s a fact
We know the planets warming
Form a plan, and we can still restore it

It’s not a scam, there’s agreement
sustained increase in the temp
It’s hard, but it’s harder to ignore it
Money’s tight, I agree
But clean air we need to breathe
Now there’s a way and I know that I have to try and say
I know I have to say

"Good girl! Now, shelter in place while we all fly our swanky carbon-spewing private jets to our swanky carbon-spewing climate conferences to spew a lot more carbon dioxide discussing the best method of convincing all you trusting little lambs to stop breathing."

Don’t worry about all the 111 votes. They are caused by the_conqueror_of_parodies cleaning out the cookies to give those votes.
