[Intro, Spoken] Let’s think about it, How did we miss it… Back in Two thousand six… Al Gore gave us such a clear message… We been livin with An Inconvenient Truth (truth)… The meteoric rise in those Gases… Seems unstoppable for the youth. [Interlude] [Verse, Female Vocals] Unseen growth in each generation, Rising use and lifestyle choices... Stealing goods from every nation, Widespread loss of Earth’s best sources. [Verse, Female Vocals] Tech... commerce... and daily habits... Politics, greed and social flavours, Endless exploiting of our planet, Need some new ways that might just save us (save us). [Verse] We all want that comfortable kingdom, Burn the forest, buy new toys... Progress, growth and cyber freedom, Just rich getting richer... more power to the tech boys… (seems they is just unstoppable, unstoppable). [Interlude] [Chorus, Female Vocals] Why is the world just blindly waiting... Waiting in the rain for miracles (miracles)... (Waiting in the rain for miracles) Need to stop exploitating, the masses hating, Start decelerating... before things get radical (physical, hysterical). [Verse] Getting stronger with local scheming, Like cleaner power and friendly farming... Invest our time in this new dreaming Spend our treasure on caring and sharing (caring, sharing). [Bridge, Rap] Most folk busy gettin on with their livin, Find work, get house, make ends meet... Struggle through storms, epidemics and global shortages Cost-of-living bitin, poor health hurtin, crime still risin (risin). [Break, Saxophone] Gotta look after their families, Gotta look out for their friends, Gotta take care of their streets (their streets). [Interlude] [Bridge, Rap] Dealing with upheaval, political evil, economic fictions, total contradictions Social and medical challenges, government paralysis... Coping with recession, depression, oppression and addictions. Some of us even gotta prep for the Apocalypse (Apocalypse). (It's clear from our collective inaction, We is dumpin this problem on the next generation, (next generation)) [Chorus, Female Vocals] Why is the world just blindly waiting... Waiting in the rain for miracles (miracles)... (Waiting in the rain for that miracle) Need to stop exploitating, the masses hating, Start decelerating... before things get radical (physical, hysterical). [Outro, Spoken] Hard earned hypocrisy of modern life... (life) Enthusiastic amateurs try to fix the strife... (strife) We all still want a piece of that pie... [Saxophone] In the end, the planet is gone... in just the blink of an eye (blink of an eye), [Rap] Why try, ‘cos world gonna die, get by, be fly, save the sky, don’t live that lie, help share the pie (share that pie) [Interlude]
