Cries Of The Planet

As I’m sitting midstream, hoping kids don’t dox me or swat me
Just cause I’m stating what’s obvi, with every statement that’s faulty
Using despair as the fuel to drive racist practices
This ain’t checks and balances, it’s creating more damages
You hear tax cuts, witch hunts, strengthening borders
I hear fear mongering, dividing and conquering
We let a monster in, and that’s simple and plain
All we did was complain, tweeting idle threats like this is a game
Straight negligent, inflate estimates, trade deficit
Miseducation and fear creates prejudice
Hate eminent, now misplaced evidence
As a planet we stand at a great detriment
Jobs take Benefits, Make medicine
Unaffordable, its horrible, i hear the lies in every sentence
I thought it through, and though I still want to feel resentment
For everyone who believed in you, and thought this dream was feasible
And knew that you were speaking to their problems
But I believe you’re beatable, it seems we at the bottom
But we just playing possum, like winter jasmine we blossom
Standing stronger united by our desire and defiance
I’ve seen over the horizon my people are out of hiding
And we refuse to go silent
For now.

Can you hear it calling
From the skies above
From the depths of the oceans
To the earth below
See the seas all rising
'till the air gets low
Do you hear it calling…
You can hear the cries of the planet
Even scientists can’t understand it
We all at a disadvantage, impossible to manage
So-called-experts is callin' it a «hoax»
Now it’s time for the networks to take a new approach
Greenhouse gases, natural disasters
Unexplained phenomena, time to wake up outta the
Mindstate, that we can’t change things
The world is changing
How many times we gotta see the same thing?
Hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions
We need more action and much less discussion
And less corruption, before we all goners
Somebody inform us what the earth is tryin' to warn us
But we worry 'bout the trivial, superstars, interviews
Millionaires drama, people what’s gotten into you?
Temperature is risin' like the CO2 levels
It’s settled, sooner or later we’ll see the true devils
But for now
For now.
