At first we weren't afraid
We weren't petrified,
Kept thinking we could carry on 
living our normal lives.
But then we saw so much research showing how
It had all gone wrong,
And we grew scared . . .
Then we got organised and prepared ! 

XR is back,
Occupying this space -
Don't turn away now,
We gotta save the human race 
We should have started long ago, 
We should have started yesterday,
So tell the truth about climate change:
And let’s all start today!

Too many companies 
Pollute seas and shores 
We need drastic action
The old ways are not working any more
Let’s line the streets and tell our leaders
To protect our mother earth
Let’s stop industrial pollution 
And save the planet that gave us birth

Coz if we don't 
We won't survive ,
As long as we burn fossil fuels
The sea levels will rise 
We've got to save our coral reefs, 
We’ve got to clean our seas and skies
Cause if we don’t 
We won't survive 

but…
We could survive
We could survive
If we act now to limit warming to a max of 1.5! (degrees!)
The appetite for international action’s on the rise
Let’s organize
Let’s divest and decarbonise!

We Could Survive

The forests were always greener
Before you went chopped them down
You dream about going to see them
But there are no more around
 Just look at the world around you
Right here on the ocean floor
Such terrible things surround you
What more proof you looking for?
 
Under the sea
We’re under the sea
Can’t say it’s better
Down where it’s wetter
Take it from me
Here at our desks we work all day
For The Man we slave away
But we’re just devoting
more time to floating
Under the sea  

In the Maldives they’re sinking
As the sea levels rise
The locals down there aren’t happy
When will we hear their cries?
Climate refugees can tell you
They’re in for a sooner fate
Earth’s children are going hungry
So can we afford to wait?
       [No!!]

Under the sea
We’re under the sea
Can’t say it’s better
Down where it’s wetter
Take it from me
Here at our desks we work all day
For The Man we slave away
But we’re just devoting
more time to floating
Under the sea
 
We’re drilling for shale
As maize crops they fail

The oligarchs dance
As school close in France

Oil firms spread doubt
While India’s in drought
 
And all the fat cats feeeeaaaast

We subsidise oil 
Whilst Zambia boils

Keep toppin’ the meter
When renewables are cheaper!

Yet carbon we praise
As wild fires blaze

And all the permafrost meeeeelllllltts

Under the sea
We’re under the sea
Can’t say it’s better
Down where it’s wetter
Take it from me
Here at our desks we work all day
For The Man we slave away

But if we resist 
And demand they desist
From the carbon-conforming
Increasing the warming
Perhaps we won’t end up
So thoroughly washed up and
Under the sea

We're Under The Sea

All sections should work together:

Stop your messing around (ah-ah-ah)
Better think of our future (ah-ah-ah)
Time to legislate now (ah-ah-ah)
Create climate policies (ah-ah-ah)

MPs: a message to you 
MPs: a message to you… 

The tide is high but we’re holding on
Climate policy is priority number one
We’re not the kind of crowd
Who’ll give up just like that…

MPs (A message to you) / Tide is high

Imagine (there's no fossil fuels)

Sea levels are rising, and so are we: for #SystemChange, not #ClimateChange.
Flush as hard as you like. WE FLOAT.
