| It's a beautiful Earth |
It's beautiful, it's beautiful, it's beautiful
Night to be
The stars are shining, the stars are shining,
For you and me,
CHORUS :
So look after this beautiful earth,
It's so precious beyond all money worth,
The Universe, the universe,
Is full of possibility
The Universe, the universe,
Is for you and me
Maybe only, maybe only,
Our earth in this Galaxy
CHORUS (REPEAT) |
| DRIVEN |
CHORUS
What is this life if full of care
We have no time to stand and stare
Wherever you're going, wherever you've been
You've been there before and you'll be there again
Schooled in compliance and knowing your place
Trained to compete in the great human race
Driven like lemmings to follow the trend
Driven to keep up and on round the bend
CHORUS
Trapped by your drives like a rat in a cage
Driven in circles, driven to rage
Cornered and dangerous and on the attack
Driven to run like a rat with the pack
CHORUS (Middle Eight)
You've no hope of learning what's really going on
As you're driven to abstraction by the media con
Where endless analysis by self-centred bores
Keeps your mind off what's happening behind the
closed doors
Or try "entertainment" and reflect on a nation
That gawks at its neighbours whose sole aspiration
Is a chance to be famous or the next million-aire
Will it drive you to distraction; more likely despair
CHORUS
Living life on the edge, living life on the brink
Keeping up with your image will drive to drink
Driven by passion, driven by greed
To see love as possession and desire as need
CHORUS
Driven under the knife in a vain stab at youth
Your face or your fear: what's the uglier truth?
If acknowledging death is your idea of hell
You'll be driven to hide from the present as well
CHORUS
Like a leaf in the tempest, a twig on the stream
At it's worst it's a nightmare, at it's best like a dream
If it's all an illusion and nothing is real
Then you're driven to wonder just who's at the wheel
CHORUS

MR VIVISECTOR
(a song about lack of animal rights) |
Mr Vivi - Sector
Tester or lie- detector
You justify the pain
the price of medical gain
filling animal relatives
Full of industrial sedatives
CHORUS
Lives compro - mised by pain
for acts verging on the insane
Meet an-imal welfare with dignity
Or face out-right resistance and en-mity
Huntington Life Sciences
Vulgar financial expansion
Baled out b’Governm't connivances
In the face of extremist action
a company that was de-listed
Survives gov’nt - assisted
CHORUS
Will 2 wrongs make a right?
Can Stem Cells give the insight?
for real progress to be set
and research met
you yourself show heart
Don’t put the horse b’fore t’ cart
CHORUS
They call us extremist
Just because we care
we’re really redeemist
Why should we fear?
We need to change the law
And end this tor - tchaw
CHORUS (x2) |
| Oil Song |
America - Your need for oil
Takes you on to foreign so-il
If you met needs from solar sources
You wouldn't need so many foreign for - ces
CHORUS:
Oil is like hero - in,
It is doin' our planet - in
We must start re-thinkin'
or we'll all end up sinking
A Republican Philosophy
Built on imperialistic ideology
To control world resources
Using your mighty forces
CHORUS
Yet devotion to war - time
Will not buy your country more ti - me
In the cause of world peace x2
We need warring to cease
CHORUS x2 |
| Peak Oil |
No more oil for plastics we use every day,
No alternative material to use in the same way,
No more cheap transport this will all stop,
No more cheap food found in the shop,
Peak oil it’s gonna spoil our way of life,
If it comes Unplanned we are damned to suffering
and strife,
Now It’s taboo to talk about oil running out.
Lets not wait, start the debate the secret we should
Shout,
Future collapsing economy, unemployment very high,
The previous Globalisation is left high and dry,
Rioting in the streets as food becomes very short,
To Totalitarian government they might resort,
CHORUS:
Our government don’t tell us what is going on,
They think nuclear power will right what is wrong,
Our government , only think of the next 5 years,
Don’t care about the people, their hardship and tears
Use alternative energy of wind ,water, sun,
Develop sustainable transport for everyone,
Invest in energy efficiency, insulate everywhere,
Invest in education make people more aware,
Create a local economy not based on oil,
People working together, sharing all their toil,
Non-materialistic people adopting a green lifestyle,
Quality of life comes first creating culture all the while,
CHORUS
|
| TEN YEARS |
We told you that climate chaos would come
But you ignored us, said nothing was wrong
We think we’re invulnerable, lords of the earth
But just ask Katrina what our power is worth
CHORUS
How hard can it be
If we can all just all just agree
10.......years to turn it round
Global solution must be found
10 years 10 years……
The leaders have gathered, the targets are set
No one is meeting them, at least no one yet
Can it be, do you think, that men of the hour
Are controlled by businessmen who put them in power?
Sea levels rising – it’s just like they said
With flooding in London up over your head
In the garden of England yields start to drop
Salt water irrigation no good for the crop
Droughts last for years, not a cloud in the sky
Could it be our emissions – no, that is a lie
With no water the crops will not grow
Mass starvation millions will know
We think we’re “developed” with superior mind,
But what of poor countries that are “falling behind”
With wars and diseases, their famine and thirst
Because the developed world had put itself first,
Alternative energy - Wind, water, sun
Capping our carbon will be a close run
Contraction, convergence we need it now
Sharing our carbon use fairly somehow
CHORUS
Ten years up we just agree
Is there hope for humanity?
|
| CAPITALISM |
CHORUS
Capitalism is killing the Earth,
Capitalism don’t see it’s worth,
But we have a choice,
Join together as one voice,
We can sing a different song,
Try to right what is wrong,
CHORUS
Circumvent the media machine,
Give up the consumerist dream,
Find a different way to be,
Co-create a new reality,
CHORUS
Try to live an alternative lifestyle,
Invest in people, don’t make a pile,
Be self sufficient as much as we can,
Think of the future not just our lifespan,
Middle Eight
Eventually the message will get to the ruling elite,
That the power of change has gone to the street,
The systems demise will come to pass,
With Eco warriors winning at last,
Make sure there’s something left,
Don’t leave the planet bereft,
The future is our responsibility,
Join together make a new reality,
The Greens love the earth,
They know it’s true worth,
CHORUS
|
| HIGHER LOVE |
Gotta little message got it for you,
You have to change the things that you do,
Gotta find a different way to be,
By rediscovering our spirituality,
Love one another and try to be kind,
Start working with our infinite mind,
Gotta to try to change our nation,
By sending out the love vibration,
CHORUS
Cos Truth says,
Higher Love, Higher Love,
Higher Love, Higher Love,
Higher Love, Higher Love,
Is the Answer,
Cos Wisdom says,
Selfless Love, Selfless Love,
Selfless Love, Selfless Love,
Selfless Love, Selfless Love,
Is a Life Enhancer,
Gotta find a way back to community,
Help create a new society,
To each according to their need,
Care and share forget about greed,
Develop a greater circle of compassion,
By relieving suffering with a passion,
Sharing all our personal resources,
Changing our lives ,changing courses
CHORUS
Gotta change the global capitalist vulture,
By creating a caring global culture,
Stop trans-national exploitation,
Create fair trade for every poor nation,
Abolish poverty and feed the poor,
With richer nations doing more and more,
Give up materialism and show we care,
Building a world that’s just and fair,
CHORUS
|
| CORPORATE CRIME |
They exploit the people,destroy the earth,
Think that making money is the greatest worth,
The planet cannot be bought and sold,
Eco systems are worth their weight in gold,
CHORUS
Multi-nationals are to blame,
Bringing billions of people pain,
We must change their ways,
So it’s not the poor who pays,
Corporations are based on greed,
People don’t get what they need,
If Corporations are not controlled,
Be nothin left when we get are old,
CHORUS
Corporations are a destructive force,
Destroying humans life sup-port,
There is No future for this planet,
In the economy of the corporate gannet,
CHORUS
We must now challenge their ways,
So the planet can see better days,
Eco-Socialism is the answer,
Kind ecologically, avoiding disaster,
CHORUS

| BIGFOOT |
CHORUS
Bigfoot’s eyes
Are on the prize
And never mind the cost
If we don’t cut him down to size
And soon then all is lost
Now I thought Bigfoot was a myth
It seems that’s not the case
And he’s not just in the U.S. now
He’s all over the place
He’s hosting feel good TV shows
With a big grin on his face
And there’s no escape from Bigfoot
He’s already up in space
CHORUS
Bigfoot’s running factories
Producing miracle pills
Bigfoot’s running colleges
Teaching vocational skills
Bigfoot’s got a master plan
For curing all our ills
If you see Bigfoot heading your way
Don’t panic, head for the hills!
CHORUS
I woke up this morning
Sooty footprints everywhere
In the kitchen, on the patio
in the bathroom, on the stair
There were footprints black as carbon
Hanging heavy on the air
And the paper lying on the mat
Said “Bigfoot's here. Beware!” |
