ATTENTION, ATTENTION
This is not a drill
Don’t make yourself chill
In your bed
On your doorstep
Lend me your ear!

Earth is dying
Didn’t you hear us crying
For help?

SUSPENSION, SUSPENSION
Can you feel the tension
Of the climate change
Don’t feel strange
It’s okay to be different
But don’t be blue
Or black
Or brown

        But isn’t blue part of the rainbow?

That’s azure blue
Not royal blue

        But isn’t black my skin colour?

That’s just skin colour

        Brown as well?

Yes.

        So, black and brown aren’t colours?

Black isn’t a colour anyway
And brown is shit

        My skin colour is shit?

NO!
You know exactly, what I mean
Now, will you let me finish my song?

        Well, go on…

Don’t slip in that show
My friend

        We don’t know each other!

But I am your brother
I’m your spiritual soul
Because this is our global goal
Connected across borders
We’re not allowed to shout orders
But who’s not following us
Makes Mother Earth sad

Earth is dying
Didn’t you hear us crying
For change?

CRISIS, CRISIS
Give us more spices
Because despite our differences
We’re all worth living
But we won’t survive
With your dishes that still dive
In the oceans
But for not too long
If we don’t stay strong
Against money and greed
And the bosses in need
For more slavery

Earth is dying
Didn’t you hear us crying
For you?
