Emergency Lyrics by The Herd

Summerland

0

The revolution will be industrial!
Well, charged like the Battle of Beersheba and Istabulat
And didn’t you know it’s all combustible
We got born again greens just because its tax deductable
I'm optimistic but the dots need to be joined
And now you lift a finger in response but just to point
That's the quickest way to disappoint, Maybe you missed the point
This is way bigger than the list have joined
We can spruik credentials. No matter how inconsequential
We treat it like essential. I could sacrifice a non-essential
Call myself environmental!
Anything outside of this is accidental
(New Orleans) Yasi!

Slogans are their mantra
We can't look to government and industry for answers
They only got a golden hand shake and a plan to abandon the ship way before we deal with the cancer

This is an emergency!
This is an emergency!
This is an emergency!
Calmly, you told me you had a plan

Even Arnie in the 90's had a car that ran electric
They held back the tech. shit! Now its gotten hectic
They can't deflect it, Not like its unexpected
Aussie kids dying at the tyrants directive
In the dust of the cradle of civilisation
The middle east was once well vegetated
Now, check out Australia, a fragile equation
Even the Anglican Church says that a terrorist invasion is not the real issue
If your waiting for an end to floods and drought; here's a tissue
The Nats will dismiss you and pray for a solution
Shame, there is no neighbour to blame for the pollution
At least there is absolution and carbon credits
It begins and ends at home if we let it
A letter to your MP, sign the petition
We're waiting on you man, to make the hard decisions

This is an emergency!
This is an emergency!
This is an emergency!
Calmly, you told me you had a plan

It was the dumbest thing we could have known
We take and take 'til there was no more
Justify the human breed. We are blinded by our wants and needs
So the seas will swirl, disease be rife, the soil became dust and dust become life as we know it
And you denied it, And yet you told me you had a plan
And you told me you had a plan
This is an emergency! And you told me you had a plan
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust. And you told me you had a plan

This is an emergency!
This is an emergency!
This is an emergency!
And you told me you had a plan
This is an emergency!
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
This is an emergency!
This is an emergency!
And you told me you had a plan
You told me!
