Excuse Me Your Planet Is Burning



EXCUSE ME YOUR PLANET IS BURNING

© Andy Vine  May 2007  SOCAN

 

Excuse me your planet is burning

Excuse me it’s really on fire

It may not seem hot where you’re standing

But believe me the flame’s getting higher

I really don’t want to disturb you

I know that the party was fun

But I think if you’d like to get out alive

It’s time to start cooling it down

 

 ‘Cos this fire is all of our making.

This fire is fueled by our greed

This fire will end when we come back again

To only consume what we need.

 

Excuse me I see you’re not listening

I wonder if you really heard

Or if you’d rather believe in some strange fantasy

That says that the fire’s not there.

Can’t you see that the ones who deny it

Are the ones who would have most to lose?

It’s their fear of losing their wealth and their power

That makes them deny and confuse.

 

Excuse me for minding your business

But if you care for our kids please be true

To that love in your heart and make a new start

On a lifestyle called keeping it cool.

It won’t hurt too much if you hurry

And get all your buddies on board

There’s no time to delay. Let me show you the way.

It’s time to start loving this world.
