about

ALL PROFITS FROM SALES OF THIS SINGLE DONATED TO THE AUSTRALIAN CONSERVATION FOUNDATION!
Extinction rates are soaring, habitats are disappearing, nature is out of balance and climate events are becoming more extreme. Politicians and world leaders are more environmentally and socially inept than ever. What sort of world will we leave for future Earthlings? And what will they say about us?

lyrics

It’s not the time for you to sojourn in Hawaii
Watch the fires burn and feel the water rising
Is it hard to breathe?

It’s not the time to make excuses ‘cause you’re lazy
You’ve had time to think it through since 1980
But you dropped the ball
Rolled the dice and set the price of oil

So let’s raise our voices today
And the kids of tomorrow will say
That we saved a beautiful place
For the kids of tomorrow to play

It’s not the time for you to sue for defamation
There’s better things to do, that’s just my observation
There’s a world in need

It’s not the time for you to party with your rich friends
Or run and hide or start a fight that’s just a pretence
That we don’t believe
We won’t be divided over greed

So let’s raise our voices today
And the kids of tomorrow will say
That we saved a beautiful place
For the kids of tomorrow to play

And I ignore, you’re such a bore
That I can’t watch the news no more
It’s all just making me blue
And I’m tired of all your lying
Cause you know there’s no denying what is true

So let’s raise our voices today
And the kids of tomorrow will say
That we saved a beautiful place
For the kids of tomorrow to play

So let’s raise our voices starting today
And the kids of tomorrow will say
That we made cool choices saving a place
For the kids of tomorrow to play
