Year 2018
Songwriter Jo-Hanna Read
Spoken (maybe with “oohs” in the background): We thought if we just shut our eyes The problem would go away. But when that didn’t work, we realized The problem is here to stay. Sung: Climate change is here and we’re already in trouble (Hey-la, hey-la, climate change is here) Now we see it happ’nin’, gotta fix it on the double (Hey-la, hey-la, climate change is here) They been spreading lies that it isn’t true (Hey-la, hey-la, climate change is here) That climate fluctuations are nothing new (Hey-la, hey-la, climate change is here) Hey- the oceans keep on risin’ And, we’re fin’ly realizin’ Those carbon emissions are filling the air (Hey-la, hey-la, climate change is here) Causing destruction everywhere (Hey-la, hey-la, climate change is here) With so many creatures dyin’ Don’t you think we should be tryin’? It’s time to say we don’t believe deniers’ lies (Hey-la, hey-la, climate change is here) To save the planet now we got to organize! (Hey-la, hey-la, climate change is here) (Hey-la, hey-la, climate change is here) (Hey-la, hey-la, climate change is here) Yell: Hey, everyone, climate change is here now!
