An Earth Anthem


Dude! Come on, listen As I’m speaking carbon is being emitted But no you don’t care And no you’re not hearing me And if you can’t see all this pollution Then you’re obviously not seeing clearly We need to stand up And make a difference Save our earth before It’s the end of us Our glaciers are melting And our oceans are rising And you’re sitting there fantasizing About a material world and material things Like shiny cars, flashy clothes, and diamond rings But did you forget that that diamond came from the ground And that shirt made of cotton came from something round Yeah, that’s right I’m talking about the earth We need to save it For all it’s worth We’re drowning ourselves in chemicals And artificial preservatives While I’m standing up here Talking about becoming more conservative Conserve your water Conserve your energy To prevent our whales from becoming extinct To make sure that our polar bears survive So they’re not standing alone on thin ice Going green becoming all organic Saving our oceans like the Pacific and Atlantic Stopping deforestation And careless oil spills Taking care of our endangered animals And doing something real Stopping poaching and pollution Start finding alternative energy solutions All of this, just to lessen our carbon footprint Look at the increase in natural disasters Can’t you take a hint? So listen to me as I take a stand Because I can’t do this alone No, I won’t do this alone Because together we can save our planet!
