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
