Emergency On Planet Earth
1. WHEN YOU GONNA LEARN (DIGERIDOO)
So many friends to stop the end on each
other we depend, - mountain high and
river deep, stop it going on, - we gotta
wake this world up from its asleep. -
people, stop it going on, have you heard
the news today? - moneys in the menu in
my favourite restaurants, now don't talk
about quantity, there's no fish left in the
sea.
Greedy men been killing all the life there
ever was, so you'd better play it natures
way, or she will take it all away, don't - try
and tell me you know more than her about
right from wrong, - now you've upset the
balance, man, done the only thing you can,
- now my life is i your hands, mountain
high and river deep. - stop it going on, we
gotta wake this world up from its asleep, -
people, stop it going on, greedy men will
fade away, oh they will fade away, when
we stop it going on, I know it's got to be
that way, - oh people, stop it going on, I'm
asking when you gonna stop going on?
When you gonna learn to stop it going on?
What's the answer? - To our problems. - I
think we've gone too high, - Little children.
Never said a word now, - But still they
have to die. - It won't be long, - Dancing
like we do now, - To put this sad world
right. - So don't you worry, - Suffer no
more, - 'cos we're too young to die. - You
know we're too young to die, - You know
we're too young to die, - You know we're
too young to die, - You know we're too
young to die.
You know we're too young to die, - You
know we're too young to die, - You know
we're too young to die, - You know we're
too young to die.
Rap. All gone when they drop the bomb.
Can the politicians reassure? 'cos here i am
presuming that nobody whats a war.
There's so many people praying just to
governments and disillusioned leaders, so
full of empty promises but rarely do they
feed us, put our backs against the wall, or
don't we count at all.
Can you decide, are you mesmerised. Do
you know which side you're standing? Cos
when it falls gonna take us all. Gotta know
what we're demanding, I never lie, can't
you hear the cry, coming from on high,
WE'RE TOO YOUNG TO DIE.
Death can seem to bear no relevance, - Bet
you wished you dance to the music - What
you want to do is kill yourself - Still you
don't dance to the music - I can look at you
and hear your scream - Come on dance to
the music - And you tell me that your
needless clean - Come on dance dance...
Come on now dance to the music - I need
it. Need it. I need it. Repeat
Don't you get hooked up - 'Cos music is
the drug - Don't you get hooked up.
Repeat
Cause I'm free to roam 'cause it's my
home - You can't stop sweet inclination -
The kids want the system breaking down -
Not higher education - If it ain't no natural
law - Then you can keep your regulations -
Cause if i like it i do it
But i keep on movin' through they wanna
bring me down - I've gotta run for the
cover, and I keep on smiling - Through they
wanna tie me down and give me death for
the lover, - And I keep on losing though
I'm proving what I'm doing - I'm still
groovin', and if i like it i do it
You've got to help those people break that
legislation, - We can evercome this
suffocation, - Execute your natural
liberation, - Happy to enjoy rejuvenation, -
All around hear the sound - No-one can
stop us now, - A thousand rules for plastic
fools - Now they can take a bow. - Surely
there's been time to see it doesn't work by
now, - So if i like it i do it
Still i, - Keep on finding that they're
pushing those distorted visions, - And I
keep on living but I'm dying 'cause of their
decisions, - If i keep on looking I can find
a higher space - I'm still groovin' and if
I like it I'll do it
We got emergency - emergency on planet
earth
Think we're standing fur injustice, - White
gets two and black gets five years, - Took
me quite a while to suss this, - But now I
know my head is cleared - And a little boy
in hungry land, is just a picture in the
news, - Change shoes - Won't see him in
the TV advertising, 'cause it might put you
off your food
We got emergency - emergency on planet
earth
If I pick it up, can I put it down - Whatever
it is, I just can't stop . Repeat
Well it's hard times, white lines, kids of
nine gettin' down with gun crime - War
zones, no homes, ain't it time we gave the
dog a bone - Say brothers, sisters, step up
and put yourself in the picture - This time
you know a revolution is the only way that
we can change change change - I want to
fight the power
Question, answer, shake your hand and
smile for camera - But its no good you
should spend time in your neighbourhood
- Where black kids, white kids - Now
you're working overtime to be a crack kid -
No job, no cash, a revolution is the only
way that we can change change change - I
wanna fight the power
Still we don't seem to understand we need
a revolution - Everybody wants a revolution
Who is, this man, I'm having trouble
finding out where I'm coming from - Pre-
conceptions, it's eternal human infection
one chance, learn how you're gonna
change the habit of lifetime my soul,
concerned, - That revolution is the only
way that we can change change change - I
wanna fight the power
Higher, higher, now we're gonna learn to
fight the power - Sunshine, new day, I only
know how to go the right way - Faster,
stronger, I help my brother and my soul
lives longer - Blinded, I can't see - A
revolution is the only way we can change
change change - I wanna fight the power
No doubt, in time, everything is sweet
sunshine but in the meantime, mankind, is
having trouble where to draw the line - We
still don't, respect, and yet I thought we
had intellect - Sometimes i think the music
is the only hope we have for revolution
Still we don't seem to understand we need
a revolution - Everybody needs a
Revolution
