Neon Emergency
One,
two...
One, two, three, four...
The skyline's glowing orange,
the horizon's burning bright,
We're dancing in the wake of the end of the night.
The glaciers are retreating,
like memories we can't keep,
While the world is spinning faster than the promises we're steeped.
They're selling us the future in a package and a lie,
But the temperature is rising,
and the sky is turning blue.
We're running out of time,
yeah, we're running out of room,
For the comfort of the static,
for the haze in the gloom.
Can you feel the heat?
It's pressing on my skin,
The tide's coming in,
the storm is coming in.
Don't let them tell us it's too late to wake up,
Break the cycle, break the habit,
don't look back!
We are the generation that has to speak!
What do we want?
CLIMATE ACTION! When do we want it?
NOW!
What do we want?
Clean air, clean water!
No more pollution! When do we want it?
TODAY!
NOT TOMORROW! We want it NOW!
They say it's just a business,
just a bottom line to find,
But the rivers are turning brown,
and the leaves are leaving behind.
We've got the tech,
we've got the will,
we've got the fire in our veins,
Why are we waiting for the rain when we can break the
chains? Plant the trees,
stop the ships, let the oceans breathe again,
This isn't just a crisis,
it's a call to begin!
We're not just watching the end,
we're rewriting the code,
Turn off the lights,
let the truth be the road.
Don't let them tell us it's too late to wake up,
Break the cycle, break the habit,
don't look back! We are the
generation that has to speak!
What do we want?
CLIMATE ACTION! When do we want it?
NOW! What do we want?
Clean air, clean water!
No more pollution! When do we want it?
TODAY! NOT TOMORROW! We want it NOW!
They said, "Wait until tomorrow."
They said, "It's too expensive." But the air is getting thinner,
and the heat is getting nearer.
The ice is disappearing,
and the truth is getting clearer.
WE CAN'T WAIT FOR TOMORROW!
THE FUTURE IS RIGHT HERE!
IT'S IN OUR HANDS!
IT'S IN OUR HEARTS!
SAY IT WITH ME!
What do we want?
CLIMATE ACTION! When do we want it?
NOW! What do we want?
Clean air, clean water!
No more pollution! When do we want it?
TODAY! NOT TOMORROW! We want it NOW! (oh-oh-oh)
Not tomorrow...
Not next year... We want it...
NOW!
