Captain Planet, Prove Us Wrong

1980s punk rock, fast downstrokes, wiry distorted guitars, punchy live drums, rough bass, whiny nasal male vocal, sneering and plaintive delivery, raw garage-band mix, shouted gang responses in the chorus, stop-start breaks, urgent compact arrangement

V6-WILD

[Verse 1] Captain Planet, where’d you go? The river’s wearing motor oil The beach is buried up to its knees And somebody’s selling the trees [Pre-Chorus] We used to shout, “The power is yours!” Now the old man’s boarding up the doors [Chorus] What happened to Captain Planet? Save the whales—who’s gonna do it? Is idealism dead and gone? Or just stuck in reruns till dawn? [Verse 2] MacGyver’s got a paper clip The A-Team’s loading up the van Airwolf’s circling over the bay While eco-baddies dump and drive away [Pre-Chorus] They’ve got a lawyer, a logo, a plan We’ve got a busted bike and one angry fan [Chorus] What happened to Captain Planet? Save the whales—who’s gonna do it? Is idealism dead and gone? Or just stuck in reruns till dawn? [Bridge] Five rings, one globe, a plastic sea Hey, Captain, come and rescue me! We made the signs, we raised the hue Now tell us what we’re supposed to do [Final Chorus] What happened to Captain Planet? Save the whales—who’s gonna do it? Is idealism dead and gone? We’re still yelling—prove us wrong! [Outro] Prove us wrong! Captain Planet, prove us wrong!
