Our Planet
(专辑: Wednesday After Next - 2019)
How will the
future generations see us? We had a
choice Knew the
stakes, saw the
signs, had the
science to teach us But we chose money over all else We saw it creeping up but we never sought help Now we got a
climate crisis, we got shorter seasons We got mass extinction, we got coral bleaching We got glaciers melting, we got oil leaking While the
sizes of the
beaches on our shores decreasing We got heatwaves and drought while the
forests burning All in the
name of this corporate earning The
poor get sicker, the
rich get richer The
lifespan of the
planet ticks down quicker Killing mother nature on a
quest to get the
paper Now almost everything is looking critically endangered Well, except humans, but it's easy to tell The
end result of killing nature will be killing ourselves Yeah, we pave paradise if the
price is right For a
new world without no wildlife in sight What a
place to grow up in, can't shoot for nothing If you can't see the
stars in the
sky at night, I
mean We live in an artificial society Disconnected from what's really happening entirely The
news don't talk about it, politicians keep it quietly Under the
rug for campaign fund bribery And where we headed, yo, it really make me sick While most don't even know, I
guess ignorance is bliss But that ignorance is why we got these problems that exist If we rose up as a
people and started to give a
shit We'd accomplish anything if we just made the
decision And started doing something instead of complaining and bitching 'Cause regardless of our views or our race or religion We all share the
same place that we live in This land is your land, this land is my land From California to the
New York island From the
Redwood Forest, to the
Gulf Stream water This land was made for you and me This land is your land, this land is my land From California to the
New York island From the
Redwood Forest, to the
Gulf Stream water This land was made for you and me If we lose the
Amazon we lose the
lungs of the
planet How the
hell ain't everyone in a
panic 'Cause we're losing it faster than ever I
hoped our path would get better But it's feeling more like we've been going backwards Instead of the
right way At the
rate of all the
coral declines In just a
matter of time there'll be no Nemo to find The
oceans as a
whole are on the
brink of collapse Choked out by trash as the
fisheries crash With these plastic-covered beaches running up and down the
coastline Pretty soon there'll be no time But we never learn till it's too late Until there's no move to make Don't believe me? Then just you wait We fight wars over oil, with millions slaughtered Just imagine when we're killing for water, real talk We polluting everything that we drink and breathe Time to reprioritize what we think we need All this human development giving everybody condos Now the
animals don't got homes Clear cutting ancient forests where they used to hunt Taking everything they needed and we used it up Now they look like refugees with no place to go See 'em wandering confused as they pace the
road That cut through their old world and they span the
land Like asphalt veins as human demands expand Until they gone for good by the
hand of man Whether poached or pushed out, they don't stand a
chance Better take another look or the
only elephants and lions That your kids will see is in the
pages of a
book Yeah we all just tryna pay our bills but just do your part 'Cause there's a
lot worth saving still I
know that making changes is hard to do But this change has gotta start with you, yeah This land is your land, this land is my land From California to the
New York island From the
Redwood Forest, to the
Gulf Stream water This land was made for you and me This land is your land, this land is my land From California to the
New York island From the
Redwood Forest, to the
Gulf Stream water This land was made for you and me This land is your land, this land is my land From California to the
New York island From the
Redwood Forest, to the
Gulf Stream water This land was made for you and me
