#EMERGENCY LYRICS:
Ladies and gentleman, I’ve got disturbing news
Concerning those in charge, the power they misuse
They speak with silence, thinking problems disappear
Sat on their lazy arses, fingers in their ears.
And they’re repeating empty promises of ‘hope’
The future’s in a noose and they provide the rope
It’s not a drill, so ring the sirens, make them see
The state they’ve left us in has reached emergency!
Emergency! Emergency!
We don’t need your hope
We need your -
Urgency.
Before we’re choking on the smoke
Tell us… is this some crazy joke
where the punch-line is a flaming world?!
Where you’ve left us in the ashes?
Laughing while it crashes
And burns.
And they might say that we should be at school instead.
Studying what’s in store, and our careers ahead
But education’s just a way to waste the days
If we are simply waiting for the world to set ablaze.
And so we stand and march outside of parliament
Together for this cause, we set a precedent
We are the chorus of the people first in line
To face the suffering when nature calls it time.
Emergency! Emergency!
We don’t need your hope
We need your -
Urgency.
Before we’re choking on the smoke
Tell us… is this some messed up joke
where the punch-line is a flaming world?!
Where you’ve left us in the ashes?
Laughing while it crashes
And burns.
Whose planet?!
Our planet!
Whose planet?!
Our planet!
Whose planet?!
Our planet!
Whose planet?!
Our plan to...
Show you our intelligence
Shock you out of negligence
Priorities that don’t make sense
If soon there’ll be no future tense.
So while we still have time to act
While the world is still in tact
We call to you to face the facts
We’re nature and we’re fighting back!
Emergency! Emergency!
We don’t need your hope
We need your -
Urgency.
Before we’re choking on the smoke
Tell us… is this some **** up joke
where the punch-line is a flaming world?!
Where you’ve left us in the ashes.
Laughing while it crashes
And burns.
