lyrics

Lyrics:

Same news rang again today
Wake up calls for three decades

End of nurture, nature's slain
Still we’re trapped in their end-game

Slowly the roads erode
Slowly the tide it rolls
All through our former homes, feels like the Fall of Rome

Climate change can’t change my life
If I resign to live inside
Climate change can’t change my mind
(If) it’s already fallen from the vine
Shifting baselines, making haste now,
Let’s use it up, every last one of us, will lose

I’ll make some private change
But don’t ask me to demonstrate
Second Coming’s second turn
But the Beast just shrugs as the planet burns

And when it comes for me
They’ll be no one left to speak
Save for Commander-Tweet
Belching his double-speak

Climate! Climate! Climate! Change!
Find it! Name it! Use it! Rage!
Rise now! Drawdown! Come of Age!
Our voice! Our votes! Our jobs! Our fate!

Climate change come change my life
I’ll walk the fire, I'll testify
Climate change come change my mind
It’s in its nature to be intertwined
No more fake outs, we won’t back down
We’ll use it up, every last part of us, will

Rise! Rise! Rise!

Climate change come change our lives!
We'll beat back darkness with Sunrise
Climate change come change our minds!
We’re done ceding you our precious time

Now flood the Halls of Power and
Take back our Eleventh Hour
And Show Up For All You Love (cause there’s)

Only Truth Now, Here’s the New Power
We’ll Strike for Earth, People Power-First Rebirth

Our vision is future-clear
2020 sees a Green New Deal

No detours and no fear
You’re fired! we’ll take it from

Here on, our voice will hold
New songs, our ranks will grow
All those who know the score, rise now the time is short...
