It's a climate emergency
Yet they bail out oil companies
And animal factories,
Ripping down ancient forests
Trees older than the oldest human being
To put in golf courses
So the wealthy can live the dream,
How far have we come?
Or rather how far will we fall?
While the world's on fire
And glaciers are melting
People and animals are dying
But there seems to be no sense of urgency,
A worldwide virus wasn't enough?
Catastrophe upon tragedy,
Mass graves finally uncovered after decades
Even though indigenous people have been pleading for generations,
They were children!
Sons and daughters of innocence
And someone needs to pay,
Burn the churches,
And their crosses,
The Holy don't burn babies
They forced me to confess my sins
But those preachers can't express their own,
Government reconciliation means nothing
When inaction is all we see
Lowering flags is a symbol
Not change, not what we need,
There's still no clean water on many reservations
But we can build pipelines through their land
Priorities are twisted
And we need to shift it,
Will resolution ever come?
Will they ever put the people over profit?
We live in a capitalistic nightmare
But have they forgot?
You can't eat money...
And mother earth won't be ignored.
