beans on toast - extinction no.6 lyrics

looking at you now, you’re one year old
your mind is like a sponge soaking up the world
full of questions, confusion and wonder
i wonder what you’re gonna be like when you’re older

and i worry about the world that’s gonna surround ya

with an ocean full of plastic, devoid of any fish
and a history lesson on the barrier reef
chaos caused by a changing climate
clinging on to a dying planet

and it is my generation that must shoulder the blame
when the flood gates open and the forest fires rage
our children will ask what did you do to stop it
and i don’t wanna say that i just sat back and watched it

when the technology exists to change the way we are
but the system is so broken, so in love with the past
the dinosaurs in power are so stuck in their ways
it won’t be easy to force the hand of change

but who gives a f-ck if it’s easy
if the science is right
and if we don’t act now then the planet dies

we need to plant more trees and ground more planes
switch to renewable energies
start farming wind, stop farming cows
oh we’ve done enough damage for now
and when it comes to the oil we’ve found
leave it in the ground (leave it in the ground)
leave it in the ground (leave it in the ground)

well it’s coming and it’s coming and it keeps getting faster
staring down the barrel of a man-made disaster
blowing in a hurricane, drowning in a flood
another scientist said enough is enough
and another politician refuses to panic
now we’re out in the streets and we’re stopping the traffic
’cause everybody knows that the bees are dying
and the ecosystem is collapsing
and everywhere we look there are warning signs
we need to turn the sirens on
but the very same people with the power to stop it
are making a k!lling k!lling the planet
their time is up we must act now (leave it in the ground)

start farming wind, stop farming cows (leave it in the ground)
they’re making a k!lling k!lling the world (leave it in the ground)
their time is up we must act now (leave it in the ground)
leave it in the ground (leave it in the ground)
leave it in the ground (leave it in the ground)

(leave it in the ground) [repeated until fade out]
