Hey, "The world ain't movin' fast
+
On Net Zero, so why should we?"
+
That's like your neighbor dumpin' oil
+
Black in the creek for all to see
+
"He did it first," you shrug and grin
+
Pour your sump right next to him
+
Fish float dead, the birds all gone
+
Your excuse don't make it right, just wrong
+
Sewer pipes spill factory waste
+
Chemical rain in every taste
+
Kids play barefoot in the slime
+
Cancer comes before their time
+
One dump leads to thousands more
+
The water's dead, the sky's at war
+
"China burns, the US fracks,"
+
They shout, "So we'll just relax!"
+
That's the logic of a fool
+
Who thinks the creek's a private pool
+
Neighbour's Oil don't make it clean!
+
Poison's poison, sight unseen!
+
World's too slow? That's no excuse
+
Dump your mess, it's still abuse!
+
Creek runs black, the kids can't drink
+
Your "they did it" makes the planet stink!
+
Illegal drums in midnight hush
+
Tires, batteries, toxic slush
+
Smoke stacks choke the valley low
+
Asthma kids in hospital row
+
One planet, one breath, one chance
+
Care for her, or join the dance
+
Sit on the fence, watch chaos grow
+
While the river chokes, and the children know
+
Factory runoff stains the sand
+
Dead crabs wash up on the land
+
Coal dust lungs in mining towns
+
Mothers weep in hospital gowns
+
Plastic islands clog the sea
+
Turtles choke on debris
+
Fossil Kings in tailored suits
+
Buy the votes, silence the roots
+
"Climate's fine," they boldly lie
+
While the coral bleaches, and the oceans cry
+
Neighbour's Oil don't make it clean!
+
Poison's poison, sight unseen!
+
World's too slow? That's no excuse
+
Dump your mess, it's still abuse!
+
Creek runs black, the kids can't drink
+
Your "they did it" makes the planet stink!
+
"They did it" ain't a license, son
+
To poison where your children run
+
Common sense don't need a vote
+
Don't dump your oil, don't rock the boat
+
Lead or follow, clean or rot
+
The creek don't care who started what
+
No debate, no politic
+
Just a child who can't breathe, that's it
+
Take the oil, take the coal
+
Give her clean air, heal the soul
+
One small act, one clear stream
+
Start the healing, break the scheme
+
Neighbour's Oil don't make it clean!
+
Poison's poison, sight unseen!
+
World's too slow? That's no excuse
+
Dump your mess, it's still abuse!
+
Creek runs black, the kids can't drink
+
Your "they did it" makes the planet stink!
+
Neighbour's Oil don't make it clean!
+
Stop the dump - keep the creek green!
+
Neighbour's Oil don't make it clean!
+
Poison's poison - intervene!
+
Poison's poison
+
Poison's poison
+
Poison's poison
+
Poison's poison
+
Poison's poison
+
