hoodie trash - 1979 lyrics
(speech: greta thunberg)
my name is greta thunberg. i am 15 years old. i am from sweden
i speak on behalf of climate justice now
many people say that sweden is just a small country and it doesn’t matter what we do
but i’ve learned you are never too small to make a difference
and if a few children can get headlines all over the world just by not going to school, then imagine what we could all do together if we really wanted to. but to do that, we have to speak clearly, no matter how uncomfortable that may be
you only speak of green eternal economic growth because you are too scared of being unpopular. you only talk about moving forward with the same bad ideas that got us into this mess, even when the only sensible thing to do is pull the emergency brake
you are not mature enough to tell it like is. even that burden you leave to us children. but i don’t care about being popular. i care about climate justice and the living planet
our civilization is being sacrificed for the opportunity of a very small number of people to continue making enormous amounts of money
our biosphere is being sacrificed so that rich people in countries like mine can live in luxury. it is the sufferings of the many which pay for the luxuries of the few
the year 2078, i will celebrate my 75th birthday. if i have children maybe they will spend that day with me. maybe they will ask me about you. maybe they will ask why you didn’t do anything while there still was time to act
you say you love your children above all else, and yet you are stealing their future in front of their very eyes
until you start focusing on what needs to be done rather than what is politically possible, there is no hope. we cannot solve a crisis without treating it as a crisis
we need to keep the fossil fuels in the ground, and we need to focus on equity. and if solutions within the system are so impossible to find, maybe we should change the system itself
we have not come here to beg world leaders to care. you have ignored us in the past and you will ignore us again
we have run out of excuses and we are running out of time
we have come here to let you know that change is coming, whether you like it or not. the real power belongs to the people
thank you
