Emergency

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. 
Which we need like essential. I could sacrifice a non-essential,
Call myself environmental!
Anything outside of this is accidental. 
(New Orleans) Yasi!

Talk and talk their mantra,
We got to 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!
They called me. You told me you had a plan.

Even Aunty 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 dieing at the tyrants directive.
In the dust of the crater is civilisation,
The middle east was once 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 for floods and drought; here is a tissue.
The nuts 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 lets it.
A letter to your MP, sign the petition,
We're waiting on you to make the hard decisions. 

This is an emergency!
This is an emergency!
This is an emergency!
They called me. You told me you had a plan.

It was the dumbest 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!
