There's nothing else that I can do The children need a meal and I feel shame Ignore my hunger and just hope that something turns up and who knows? Maybe something good will heal the pain" Tear down the barriers, rip up the rulebook, draw the line They said "The planet's heating faster now The action's urgent, change somehow Without a global kickback, we're all screwed If blah, blah, blah is all you've got then think again, regain the plot Only those who are bold will see us through" Tear down the barriers, rip up the rulebook, draw the line "There is no planet B, there is no planet blah Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah This is not about some expensive, politically correct green act of bunny hugging Or blah, blah, blah, build back better Blah, blah, blah, green economy Blah, blah, blah, net zero by 2050 Blah, blah, blah, net zero Blah, blah, blah, climate neutral Blah, blah, blah Our hopes and dreams drown in their empty words and promises" We say "The system's broke, why can't you see injustice with a fool's gold sheen? Her hunger testifies to heinous greed The scientists who called the tune - ignored by power's ineptitude We demand a new philosophy" Tear down the barriers, rip up the rulebook, draw the line Tear down the barriers, rip up the rulebook, draw the line
