Title: CODE RED Code Red! (Students/Group: Right now!) Code Red! (Group: Right now!) Wildfires burning where the forests once stood, Smoke in the sky the air’s no good. Coastal streets becoming like seas, Water in the subway, up to your knees. Groceries cost more, crops can’t grow, Drought in the fields mountains lacking snow Banks fund oil like it’s all fine, While the planet heats up - we are running out of time. When I say “Who lied?” you say “They did!” Who lied? (Group: They did!) Who lied? (Group: They did!) When I say “Who decides?” you say “We do!” Who decides? (Group: We do!) Who decides? (Group: We do!) This is CODE RED, we’re living it now, We will cut the carbon - we will somehow! Big Oil knew, but they all turned away, Paid for with doubt - shareholders to pay. CODE RED, but we still have a choice, Cut that carbon, use your voice. From the class to the streets, this is our fight, Learn the science, speak up and demand what’s right. Methane leaking from the melting ground, Ice caps shrinking, water all around. Insurance fails when the storms get rough, Families stuck when the bills get tough. Amazon trees cut down for meat, Rainforest gone so we can just eat cheap. Plastic on the beach, plastic in the rain, Tiny in our blood, tiny in our brain. When I say “Less meat,” you say “More trees!” Less meat! (Group: More trees!) Less meat! (Group: More trees!) When I say “Less plastic,” you say “Clean seas!” Less plastic! (Group: Clean seas!) Less plastic! (Group: Clean seas!) They told us it’s “too late,” that we’re too small, But every big change starts with a call. Walk, bike, care, vote, teach, teach, teach Turn that fear into solutions we must reach High school halls are the front‑line zone, Every project, every post, every megaphone. We’re not just kids in another class, We’re the ones who’ll live with what comes to pass. This is CODE RED, we’re living it now, all the clean energy we must endow Big banks, big oil spread doubt and delay, But we see the storms, we won’t look away. CODE RED, but we still got time, Cut the lies, draw the line. From teachers to teens, stand side by side, we are unstoppable— this is our ride. When I say “Code Red,” you say “Act now.” Code Red — (Group: Act now!) Code Red — (Group: Act now!) Last line (solo): The future’s not written — we will get it right!
