Emergency - The Herd

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!
